This is a really good scale for medium dogs, works well for my husky (27 kg). Too small for my german shepherd (41kg) or Mallinois (30 kg). It can certainly take the weight but Its hard for them to get all their paws on because they are a bit longer. Hard to get my St Bernard on as shes a larger and longer sized dog (49kg) If she sits perfectly on it the yes it works great. I use it for my smaller dogs and its perfect. I need a larger base for the bigger ones Read more
Works great. Exactly what I need. Easy to set up and use. Seems durable enough for larger dogs (90 pounds). I was worried it wouldn't be long enough, but it's perfect. I have three dobermans, and one is overweight. They range from 65 to 90 pounds. It just took a couple times to get the pups used to getting on it and sitting still. A little pricey, but worth it. It works well, seems to be reading the right weight as well. Read more
Easy to use right out of the box. Good quality, durability. Fits most dog sizes up to 100lbs. But a bigger dog main have some trouble sitting on it to weigh them. Great price for the size one value. Highly recommend. Read more
Like many I feel that I do not have time to write a review. However looking back to my situation when I was looking at this item and others like it I felt that I needed to take the time to help those who were looking at this for a large dog. This will work but it is a pain to use for a large dog. Using this just for my 66lbs pit mix was tough enough and he's a good boy who will listen well. Now when I went to use it on my mastiff it was a different story. There was another user who stated that they weighed their 150lbs mastiff(s) with this. All I can say about that is they must have been the shortest stockiest mastiffs ever because my female which weighs just over 125lbs was way to long for this thing. I was ready to return it after just a few minutes of trying to weigh her. However I finally got her to sit and was able to squeeze her on it with still a little hanging off. There is absolutely no way this will work on a regular basis for someone with a really large dog. My mastiff is quite a bit longer than the scale. When I got her to sit her bottom was hanging off a little and her front paws were at the other end and that was with me and my wife shifting her legs constantly to get them to stay on. I gave this a four star because in all honesty if I were to buy another that did fit my mastiff better it would have cost more than three times the price so when it comes to the price it is worth at least 4 stars. I got to weigh her without having to pick her up and weigh myself with her which is not easy. So it's worth 4 stars just for that and the price. However I cannot say 5 stars because it is not that simple. Keep in mind that my dogs are not crazy hyper dogs. The scale just was not large enough. So if you have a dog that you expect is around 60lbs maybe 70lbs and you can get them to sit on this then it will be a 5 star item. If you need a cheap scale (which is very accurate from what I could see) for a really big dog like a mastiff then I would say buy this but it will stress you out a little as it is short for a really large dog when it comes to their length. So keep that in mind. If you just do not care about money then look for a larger scale. I could buy a more costly one but I will only use this a few times a year and I can deal the stress that often. I hope this helps. When I saw that the other buyer used theirs for their 150lbs mastiff(s) I was set on this thinking my dog was not that large so this would work like a breeze. So I'm sure that effected my first thoughts on this item and how I feel about it. If it holds up well or gets easier to use with my mastiff somehow I will post back with any updates. The same if it gives up on me after a use or two. Thanks Read more
I’m a professional dog trainer and very conscious of keeping my dogs at a healthy weight! I have a dog who struggles to keep waiting on another dog who struggles with gaining weight too quickly. This helps me keep my dogs, healthy by checking their ways regularly without having to pick them up and step on my own scale. The only thing is is the platform is not the largest thing in the world so if you haven’t trained your dog to stay on a platform or if you have an XL breed this might be too small for you. The scale function can be a little touchy if the dog moves even slightly though. Read more
My dog is not large but she’s fat and on a diet. I got so tired of picking her up, stepping on the scale and doing the math. This is large enough for a large dog. Nothing to put together, just insert the batteries, (not included, but really who includes batteries). It’s steady, she doesn’t mind standing on it, it’s easy to turn on and the digital readout is large. This is important because with the size of it I have it under a table and it’s easy to get to the controls. Excellent product and exactly what I wanted. Read more
Ever have to stand on a scale and have someone hand you a 75lb dog to hold to get a weight on the dog? Can you say hernia? Found this great little gem on Amazon and bought it. For the price, we didn't have high hopes, but once it arrived, it was easy to set up (batteries) the instructions are clear (turn on scale, get dog on scale, press the hold button once the pup gets all 4 legs and tail on it), and boom! No hernia and you get a weight. The surface is slippery, so initially we put a towel down before turning it on, but now that she's used to it, we don't even bother (there are bribes of cheese involved). Initially we were a bit skeptical of how accurate it was, so we weighed her before a vet visit and both scales said the same. It's big (thankfully) big enough for a 72lb (she's on a diet) Siberian Husky, with ample room for a bigger dog. It's in our kitchen (needs to be on a firm, flat surface) and easily slides under a table that holds our microwave so it's out of the way, but slides out easy enough for use. Our only problem is that when Casey (the husky) feels she needs a cheese snack, she'll go stand on it under the table expecting her treats. An added bonus is that when we go to the vet now, it's not a battle to get her on the scale there. We just tell her "scale" and she gets on, sits and waits for cheese. Read more
