Product Description
The Small Digital Bowl Scale 1g to 5kg offers accurate and dependable weighing for newborn small breed puppies, kittens, and other small animals. Designed with breeders, rescue carers, and pet owners in mind, these scales make it easy to monitor daily weight gain during the critical early weeks of life.
With 1 gram accuracy and a 5kg capacity, the scale allows you to track even small weight changes, helping identify puppies or kittens that may need additional monitoring or feeding support. Consistent weight gain is one of the best indicators that newborns are feeding well and developing normally.
The removable weighing bowl provides a secure space for small animals while making cleaning quick and easy. A large high-definition LCD display with white backlight ensures readings are easy to see, even during night checks and early morning feeds.
Available in Black or Blue (colour provided at random), these scales are particularly suited to kittens, toy breed puppies, and other small animals.
Why Daily Weighing Matters
Monitoring weight gain is one of the most important aspects of newborn puppy and kitten care.
Regular weighing can help
- Confirm puppies and kittens are feeding adequately
- Detect slow weight gain early
- Monitor supplementary feeding programs
- Track individual growth within a litter
- Identify potential health concerns before visible signs develop
For best results, use alongside puppy or kitten ID collars and daily weight records.

Additional Information
Accurate weight monitoring is one of the best ways to assess the health and development of newborn animals. This compact bowl scale is ideal for breeders and carers who need reliable daily weight tracking for kittens, toy breed puppies, and other small animals. Pair with puppy or kitten ID collars and weight record charts for effective litter management and growth monitoring.
How to Weigh Puppies
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
- Place 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.
Cleaning Instructions
To clean the electronic scales and display, use a clean, damp, lint-free cloth to wipe away spills or dirt, and avoid harsh chemicals & abrasive cleaners. Do not submerging the scales in water.
