Harbor View Veterinary Hospital keeps 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 us 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.
