Weighing your pet before a vet visit provides valuable information for both you and the veterinarian. Knowing your pet's weight helps monitor their growth, detect potential health issues, and ensure accurate medication dosages.
How to Weigh Your Pet at Home
- For Small Pets
- Use a digital kitchen or bathroom scale.
- Place them in a basket or container for stability and subtract the container’s weight.
- For Large Pets

Tips for Success
- Weigh your pet consistently at the same time of day.
- Use treats or toys to keep them calm during the process.
