Talk about a job… Have you ever tried to get your dog to sit still on a bathroom scale long enough to measure his weight?
Not much fun… is it?
Nevertheless, to calculate a suitable dog food serving size, you simply must know your dog’s current weight.
There’s just no getting around it.
Thankfully, there’s an easier way. You can find out your dog’s weight using just three simple steps…
- Step 1 – Weigh yourself
- Step 2 – Weigh yourself while holding your dog
- Step 3 – Subtract the two numbers
And voila! You’ve got your dog’s weight.
By the way… if your dog is too heavy for you to comfortably hold in your arms… don’t worry. Most vets will gladly weigh your dog for you. So… don’t be afraid to ask.
