Estimating My Pet’s Weight

When your pet dies, your local pet aftercare service providers will need to know your pet’s weight in order to provide you with the cost of pet cremation or pet burial and to schedule your dog or cat pickup.

While cats and small dogs may only weight 5 lbs, large breed dogs may weight up to 250 lbs and require more resources for pet pickup (pet transport services), and at the pet cemetery or pet crematorium. (see also pet  burial & pet cremation)

Estimating Your Deceased Pet’s Weight – by Bard

Losing a pet can be a very difficult experience, and one of the challenges you may face is estimating their weight after they have passed away. This can be important for a number of reasons, such as filing a claim with your pet’s insurance company or ordering a pet memorial.

There are a few different ways to estimate your deceased pet’s weight. One option is to use a pet weight chart. These charts typically list the average weight of pets of different breeds and ages. You can use this information to get a general idea of how much your pet weighed.

Another option is to use a pet scale. If you have a pet scale at home, you can weigh a similar object, such as a bag of dog food, and then use that weight to estimate your pet’s weight.

If you do not have a pet scale or a pet weight chart, you can still estimate your pet’s weight by using a few simple measurements. First, measure the length of your pet from the tip of their nose to the base of their tail. Then, measure the circumference of their chest. Once you have these measurements, you can use a pet weight calculator to estimate your pet’s weight.

It is important to note that these methods are not always accurate, especially if your pet was overweight or underweight at the time of their death. If you need an accurate weight for your pet, you may want to contact your veterinarian.

Here are some additional tips for estimating your deceased pet’s weight:

• Use a recent measurement. If possible, try to use a measurement of your pet’s weight that was taken within a few weeks of their death. This will give you the most accurate estimate.
• Be consistent with your measurements. When measuring your pet, be sure to use the same measuring tape or scale each time. This will help to ensure that your measurements are accurate.
• Take multiple measurements. If you are not sure how much your pet weighed, take multiple measurements and average them out. This will give you a more accurate estimate.

Estimating your deceased pet’s weight can be a challenge, but it is important to remember that there are a few different methods you can use. By following these tips, you can get a general idea of how much your pet weighed at the time of their death.
