Little Small, Works Great
Bought this as I have to weigh my GSDs weekly due to solely feeding homemade food. My dogs weigh about 80# and 90# each, and picking them up in the morning once weekly was getting pretty tiring, and they did not like it, or cooperate that well. This was the largest scale I could find without spending an arm and a leg, and it had good reviews.
Easy to figure out buttons for weighing your pet/s. As some reviews stated, the black "mat" on the scale is glossy and slick for dog feet. I have a male and female GSD, and they are too long to fit on the scale standing. Neither of them wanted to get on it the first couple times, so I did place a towel on it and coaxed themon with treats. Made them sit, and was able to get their weights. After the second time weighing them, I was able to remove the towel, and now just guide themonto the scale and make them sit and can get their weights in a very short period of time. Scale reads weight in pounds and ounces. Very nice for tracking their weight more accurately. I store it in my garage, standing on the long edge, to save space and have it readily accessible each week.
Would buy this again. Saves my back and they prefer this option for obtaining their weights versus picking them up and using my regular scale.

Good home scale
This is a good home scale for your pet. It took some time to figure out how it worked. At first I almost returned it thinking it didn’t work. But, I kept at it until I learned. First, it’s very important to have on a level smooth surface (not carpeting). You have to turn it on, place your pet in the center and once they’re still, press the hold button. It will flash several times and stop. Then it shows the weight. It’s accurate as far as I can tell since it’s very close to the vets scale. Within a few ounces, which can just be the difference from the time of day. So far, so good. I’m hoping ot continues to work well. I’m satisfied with this scale.

Need to know
Need to keep track of my dog's weight. Product is easy to use and fairly accurate. Biggest problem is getting her to stay still on base, wish base was bigger!
Works Great
I'm an hour from the vet, and want to see how my (formerly 82-pounder) is doing (or how I'm doing with the food for him). This scale worked great and will pay for itself in gas / mileage savings - I've got a 60 pounder, a 65 pounder and 77 pounder (Now I know!). It's a little small (2" all sides?) if the dogs are reluctant to stand or sit on it and need some assistance - if they spread their legs a paw or two might not get totally on it.
Not consistently accurate
I bought this scale to weigh our 20 lb Chihuahua that doesn't like to be picked up. Unfortunately I can weigh him on this scale 5 times in a row and every time I get a vastly different #. I thought it might be because he is so small so I tried it with myself and had the same experience. It is unfortunate that I threw the box away or I would return it.

Weight is fine - surface is slippery
I purchased this to weigh my dogs but the surface is so slippery the dogs are nervous to get on it. They had no problems at all with my previous scale which had a more rubbery surface. The buttons on the side are large and easy to access and the display is clear. This doesn't feel well made - the surface feels like a panel that has been glued on - and when gripped from the sides it lifts off the scale. Good price, does weigh the dogs but I wouldn't recommend until they fix the surface.
Works as expected
The scale works precisely as expected. I have pointing dogs, so they stand perfectly still on the scale, and it works great. The black plastic cover does look cheap and flimsy, but that is purely cosmetic. I've only had it for a couple of weeks, so I have no clue about longevity.
Not as good as I thought
It is not accurate for my one dog and the other it wouldn't even read her weight (she weighs 72lbs). The surface is not anti-slip, it is more of a hard plastic than rubber.
Customer Support Is Nonexistent
I bought this scale for my cats in February of this year, used it only twice and now only says ErrL. The only customer service info I could find was a customer support email and after several months no one has contacted. Don't waste your money!!!!! The scale is great while it works but the company isn't available when you have issues.

Good for the Most part
I wish it had a non-slip surface, but other than that it is good.
