  • 1.  Dog Scale

    Posted 04-25-2023 07:30 AM

    Pet Haven of MN is excited to be nearing completion of a Surgical Suite which will open in May.  The last piece of equipment that we need is a dog scale.  I have received quotes of >$1,000!  An internet search results in options starting at a couple of hundred dollars.  Can anyone recommend a mid-priced, durable, accurate scale with the capacity to weigh large dogs?

    We ordered an affordable livestock scale from Amazon. We haul it to monthly pop-up clinics and it is rugged and accurate for even pets under 8 pounds

    Thank you for the response!  Amazon has several different scales.  Do you happen to know the brand/model that you bought?

    This is the scale we purchased for use at our pop-up spay/neuter clinics. The dogs do fairly well with the non-skid surface. This scale has held up well to being hauled around. It does weigh dogs under 10 pounds.
