FAQs
To make sure we prescribe the right medication for your pet, we need an accurate weight. Here are three easy ways to get your pet’s weight:
1. Use the Weight from a Recent Vet Visit
If your pet is over 1.5 years old and you visited the vet within the last 3 months, you can use that weight. Simply check your vet records or call the clinic to confirm the weight.
2. Weigh Your Pet at a Pet Store
Many pet stores have free weighing stations.
Take your pet to a nearby pet store and use their scale to get an accurate reading. The staff can usually help if you need assistance.
3. Weigh Your Pet at Home
If you have a bathroom scale, you can use it to weigh your pet:
- Weigh yourself first. Stand on the scale and note your weight.
- Weigh yourself while holding your pet. Stand on the scale with your pet in your arms, and note the combined weight.
- Subtract your weight from the combined weight. This gives you your pet’s exact weight.
For example:
- Your weight: 150 lbs
- You + your pet: 180 lbs
- Pet’s weight: 180 - 150 = 30 lbs
This method works best if your pet is small enough to carry safely.
