How to Weigh

We recommend weighing at the same time each day for the first two weeks. Weighing both before and after a feed for the first few days can help confirm if the pups are getting enough milk or formula. 

  • Turn the scales on: Press the stainless steel button to turn on.
  • Place a microfibre hand towel or similar on the tray: Use a soft small microfibre hand towel on the tray to ensure the puppy or kitten feels comfortable and secure once placed on it.
  • Tare the scale: Press the "tare" or "zero" button. The display will reset to zero, ignoring the weight of the microfibre towel.
  • Place the puppy or kitten on the tray: Gently place the puppy or kitten on the tray and ensure they are as still as possible to get an accurate reading.
  • Read and record the weight: Read the weight displayed and record it in grams for the most accurate tracking.
  • Repeat for each puppy or kitten: Make sure the scale is reset to zero before weighing the next puppy.

Weighing Tips

For accurate weighing, we recommend

  • weighing when puppies or kittens are tired and still
  • weighing at the same time each day
  • weighing both before or after a feed for the first few days to help confirm the puppies / kittens are getting enough milk
  • Weigh puppies or kittens daily for at least the first two weeks to ensure all puppies are gaining weight
  • Recording weights in a log book
  • Have identification collars on the puppies or kittens to keep track of their individual weights.
