Portable Digital Pet Scale for Cats & Small Animals — 44 lb Capacity
Product description
This portable digital pet scale provides a broad, low-profile top surface measuring 21.7" x 13" (55 x 33 cm) that encourages pets to step on naturally. The platform is made from durable ABS-style plastic and rests on non-slip feet, while internal load-cell sensors handle the weighing. The unit’s footprint gives cats, small dogs, rabbits, tortoises and other small animals room to sit or lie down comfortably during measurements.
Rated to 44 lb (20 kg), the scale accommodates larger small breeds as well as multiple kinds of small companions. Readings are displayed in 0.2 lb (10 g) increments, allowing owners and professionals to spot even modest weight shifts. A large, easy-to-read LED panel shows results clearly from a short distance, and a UNIT button lets you toggle among ounces, pounds and kilograms so you can use whichever measure you prefer.
Operation is simple and cordless: the scale runs on 4 × AAA batteries, enabling use practically anywhere without a power cord. It includes the scale unit and a user guide; batteries are installed separately. An auto power-off feature helps conserve battery life. The flat surface and low entry height reduce stress for pets and make it easy to coax them on with treats or a carrier.
Everyday applications include tracking a pet’s health at home, portioning food by weight, and routine checks in veterinary or breeding settings. Its portability and modest storage profile mean it tucks away under furniture or in a cabinet between uses. For more consistent readings, place the scale on a firm, level surface and keep the animal as still as possible during measurement.

While active animals can cause slight swings in readings and the feet may move on smooth floors, its portability, capacity and straightforward

Clinic-Grade Performance
Bought this for our veterinary practice and it performs well. I’ve had two units — be aware an extremely heavy cat can damage it, but otherwise it’s dependable.

Accurate for Home Monitoring
The readings are reliable. I used it to track weight loss after an illness and found it straightforward and consistent to use.

Satisfied
I put a couple of treats on it so my cat stays still during the reading, and the scale seems reasonably precise.

Handy Tare Function
Very consistent with the vet’s numbers. My cat dislikes stepping onto scales, so I weigh the carrier first with tare and then get her weight without a struggle.

Very Helpful While My Cat Was Sick
Worked well when my cat needed frequent checks. Low profile, stable feeling, and it registers weight within a few seconds.

Good Size and Easy to Use
Excellent size and weight, very simple to operate. I have two kittens of different sizes and both fit comfortably.

Simple and Practical
Bought this to watch my cats’ weight. The screen is easy to read even if they hop off quickly. Must be on a hard, flat surface; it slides on carpet and I plan to add grippers to the bottom.

Perfect for Tracking an Older Cat
Appreciate the large platform and easy storage. We weigh my aging cat weekly and he’s calm on this low, roomy surface, so I feel more confident monitoring his intake.

Mostly Accurate, Easy for Cats to Use
Tested a 5 lb weight and it showed 5.02, so slightly high. My cats hop on it for treats, though the feet let it shift a bit on smooth floors and that can startle them. If a reading wobbles I tap it lightly while the cat sits and it settles to a repeatable value.

Ideal for Multi-Cat Households
I have many cats and wanted one who didn’t dread vet visits. This matches the vet’s scale, is large enough for them to sit or lie on, and stores easily—I keep it on my desk or slide it under the couch.

Solid Device for Regular Checks
I hesitated at first but it’s become part of our routine for our older dog. It’s easy to operate, fairly accurate compared to the vet, and my dog readily steps on it when asked.
