Weighing your pet at home can be a useful way to monitor their health and track any changes in their weight. Here are some tips on how to weigh your pet at home:

Use a Scale: If you have a small pet, you can use a kitchen scale or a small animal scale to weigh them. For larger pets, you may need to use a regular bathroom scale.

Get an Accurate Reading: To get an accurate weight, weigh yourself first (holding your pet if they are small) and then weigh yourself again while holding your pet. The difference between the two readings is your pet’s weight.

Use a Carrier: For pets that are too squirmy to hold still on the scale, you can weigh them in a carrier. Weigh yourself first, then weigh yourself again while holding the carrier with your pet inside. Subtract your weight from the total to get your pet’s weight.

Record the Weight: Keep a record of your pet’s weight over time so you can track any fluctuations. This can help monitor their health and discuss any concerns with your veterinarian.

Consult with Your Vet: If you have any concerns about your pet’s weight or health, it’s always best to consult with your veterinarian. They can guide what a healthy weight range is for your pet and offer advice on managing their weight.

Remember, regular weigh-ins and staying aware of your pet’s weight are important parts of maintaining their overall health and well-being.
