Why do you check my dog’s weight every time he/she comes in for a visit?

Our doctors keep track of your pet’s weight just like your doctor’s office keeps track of your height and weight each time you visit. Having an accurate and current measurement of your pet’s weight will help our veterinary team ensure that we prescribe the right dose of preventives, medications, and any needed anesthetics. It can also help us notice any early clues to health concerns. In addition, a regular weigh-in can help you track and manage your pet’s weight. If you are in the Pickering area with your pet, feel free to stop by the veterinary clinic and use our scale to weigh your pet.
