I use mine once a week, I'm not that good at knowing what feels like a healthy weight. When he was a puppy, I used them because I wanted to make sure he was gaining weight, and through an illness, scales can be helpful because you know if they are dehydrated. After Joey reached adulthood, I thought he looked good, but the vet said he needed to lose more than 9 ounces so the scales became useful in seeing that he was "gradually losing weight. I got my scales, at Bed Bath and Beyond, and I put a pail on the scale set it to zero and put Joey in the pail, but sometimes it hard to read the dial, as the pail is in the way, and I've never found the perfect container to put on top. Many people recommend the postal scales. |
