Answer
The weight for an adult female is average 55 lbs.

If you are concerned and she roams and plays so much, add half and half puppy food to her regular dog food to add higher protein for her playing.

Also, you can add 1 cup plain (no flavor) yogurt to her food once or twice a day. This helps her digestive track and is a treat.
