I purchased this scale to track the weight of small animals. When my measurements showed significant differences with my Vet's calibrated scale I decided to run some tests. I first weighed a known quantity and got good results- within a half ounce. I next simulated a moving animal by gently tapping the weight. The digital scale on the unit became erratic and unreadable. I engaged the 'Hold' function' and got a readable result. This result was significantly high and variable. Based on this test and results from my Vet's scale, you might expect 4-10 ounces of error. This is too much error to be of any use when monitoring the weight of sick or diabetic animals. This scale does not appear to have any mechanical or electrical dampening which may explain the low price. Go talk to your Vet and see what they use. Mine uses a model the goes for about $100 and I've observed it in use- the readings are much more steady.

Good scale; a little pricey.

this is a great scale, out little doxie has had two back surgeries and it's important to monitor her weight. she never feels full and would eat all day if we let her. with this scale we can adjust her diet when she forages for pecans in the yard

Works as expected

Purchased two a couple months ago. They get used multiple times daily and have been very accurate and reliable. Easy to clean and operate.
