My Shih Tzu is going on 24 weeks now and weighs 6.6 pounds. Is that okay? I always worry she's underweight. She's super energetic, but very picky with food. I home cook her meals.

This weight is ok! She is right where she should be(Perfect and Beautiful).There are charts to calculate,they also so if your dog is active plays a factor in weight.No worries!
There is no best weight.It depends on size of parents.Unless she is so skinny but she looks very healthy.They know when their full and hungry.You make her home cooked meals, which she likes .
she looks healthy.
She looks fine. If she is happy and energetic, dont worry.
She looks adorable and the weight seems good, but puppies do need very special nutritional needs and while I am all for a home cooked diet, it needs to be vet directed so you can add the vitamins and minerals needed for healthy teeth and bones and growth.
Please check with your vet for what needs to be in her diet at each phase of development. There are lots of sources to get the additional items so be sure to shop around to get the best price
Post back with updates on your sweet baby!!
According to the vet that I take my dogs to the weight is perfect. Our dogs are weighted by the kilo and they do not want them to be more than 5.8 kilos when fully grown around 18 to 24 months. If they are heavier than this it can be bad for their health and their heart. Smaller dogs can be picky eaters and I know I have 5 of them here. They understand when they are hungry and will eat what you have prepared. Active dogs seem to weight a bit less than nonactive dogs. You are fine and have nothing to worry about.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR REPLIES! I am a new dog parent and have the tendency to over think my dog's behavior. Ill look for a vet with good reviews so I can ask freely next time
