I used to measure frequently when I bought it, but I stopped because my pet's weight stabilized quickly, and it has been stored at home. It's in very good condition☆ Purchased in July 2023. It has a tare function, so you can measure easily☆ If your pet doesn't like it, try putting their favorite cushion on it and measuring. What is the tare function? → Turn on the power, put the cushion on, and press the "TARE" button to set the display to 0. Then, when you put your pet on it, you can measure only your pet's weight. ※※ The same product is also sold as a baby (human) scale♪ We used it to measure the weight of our pet (dog), but it seems to also be a baby scale for humans. (See photo 13) I have disinfected it with alcohol, so you can use it for either human babies or animals☆ ~~From the official website~~ 【Product Description】 Slim design for easy portability!
