Pet owners, this mini scale is absolutely essential for monitoring your small animals' health! The 22-pound capacity is perfect for kittens, puppies, hamsters, lizards, birds, and other petite pets. The included tray measures 11.4x7.1 inches - large enough for most small animals but compact enough for easy storage. The high-precision sensors detect weight changes down to 1 gram, so you can track even subtle growth or weight loss that might indicate health issues. The LCD display is backlit and easy to read, showing measurements in grams, ounces, or pounds with the touch of a button. The ABS plastic construction is durable yet lightweight, and the slightly curved tray helps keep wiggly pets contained during weighing. It's perfect for monitoring newborn animals, tracking food portions, or regular health check-ups. The scale runs on 2 AAA batteries (not included) and automatically shuts off to conserve power. Assembly is simple with the snap-together design and adhesive pads that keep the tray secure. If your pet is too long for the tray but under the weight limit, you can place a box on the scale first. Seriously, if you have small pets, being able to accurately track their weight is one of the easiest ways to catch health problems early. This scale gives you that capability at an affordable price, and it works great for kitchen use too!
