Using A Scale For Your Dog's Feeding Program
from: The Complete DogA scale is very handy and useful piece of equipment for any dog owner since your dog's body weight throughout his life is an accurate reflection of his nutritional state. By weighing your dog at regular intervals you'll be able to keep an ongoing check on how well you're doing at supplying your pet good nourishment. All you need is a set of scales, a notebook, pencils, a balanced food, and a suitable container and a complete feeding program can be tailored to any dog.
Along with weighing your dog, you can also use the scales for weighing food. This easiest way to measure and control the amount of food you feed is to weigh the food. If you need a highly accurate measurement of your dog's actual intake, the scales can be used to weigh the food offered, then to weigh the amount of food your dog didn't eat. The difference will tell you exactly how much food your dog did eat.
If you're a dog owner who makes up your own diet or uses a mixture of commercial foods to make a diet, you must use scales to measure exact how much of each ingredient goes into his ration. It's impossible to consistently mix an adequate and balanced diet if you don't carefully weigh each ingredient added. If you neglects or don't utilize scales while formulating a diet you're only fooling yourself.
Most dogs can be weighed using an ordinary bathroom scale. It's a simply process. Just weigh yourself and record the weight. Next, pick up your dog and weigh yourself again, this time holding the dog and record the weight. Subtracting the first weight from the second will give you the weight of your dog. If your dog is too large to hold comfortably, you will need a grocery or dock scales to weigh him. For dogs too small to measure accurately on a bathroom scale, a regular baby scale will get the job done.
A baby scale can also be used to weigh out food portions. An even better scale and a must for weighing newborn puppies is an Ohaus balance. If you're a dog owners who finds yourself having to raise many orphaned pups, one of these scales that is sensitive to small changes in weight is essential to the success of this undertaking.
