What kind do you use and where did you get them?

Thanks

I am using a postal scale I bought on Ebay. The good side: pretty accurate. The bad side: The surface to place the dog is small...

Hope this helps!

digital postal scales from ebay. Mine has the tare feature so you can sit something on it such as large bowl or flat surface object to weigh them.

We went to Bed Bath and Beyond and got a food scale. You can put a basket on it and still set it back to zero to weigh. It's great!

May I suggest that you go to dollar store and get a plastic basket, set the pup in it ..... done deed ... **smile** postal scales are available on this site ... usually just pay $0.99 plus the S&H of 14+$

Before I got my postal scale I used my Pampered Chef kitchen scale! It worked great with the tiny ones

I bought one from the first link you listed -- Just Pounds and Ounces -- they were super fast and the scale works great. It has come in handy. I found out my two Yorkies are gaining more weight than I thought. Also used it to figure postage on the items I recently sold. Very good bargain!

I just ordered one for me and my friend ... waiting for them to come ....

I already have one from the postal service, but wanted this one b/c it goes higher than the 10 lb. one I have.

I am so grateful people share on here .... so nice! Good price also!
