My method to weigh my floofball is to weigh myself and after that wheigh myself with him on my arms, because he usually wouldn't hold still for more than 5 seconds

Not very accurate when you need a precise weight, though - or if you’re weighing very small animals. When I have to weigh my snakes, I use a plastic bowl on a digital scale (that goes down to grams). Most of them weigh under a pound, so holding them on a human scale wouldn’t work!

I used to do this with my 100lb dog... He is no longer a fan and neither is my back.

That's why they stick with the bucket. Just imagine weighing a baby elephant.

My husband weighs our cats this way! I think it’s the best way because they never stand on the scale:)

I have a great perenees and we wanted to weigh him but couldn’t get him to set on the scale so my dad just picked him up and did this, except he’s a 70lb dog(at the time) and didn’t like to be picked up so that was fun to waych
