The brain of an average dog accounts for less than half a per cent of its body weight.

A dogs’ brain is approximately 1/125 of his total body weight. Since an adult Pomeranian weighs in at roughly 5 pounds (breed standard is between 3-7 lbs), the weight of a Pomeranian brain should be “about” .65-.70 ounces (or 19-20 grams).
