Why Keep a Pet Food & Weight Journal?
The extras add up. A journal shows the full picture.
| Feature | Pet Food & Weight Journal | No Written Record |
|---|---|---|
| Has the pet been fed? | Check the log | Breakfast happens twice |
| Treats and extras | Logged every day | Add up unnoticed |
| Weight over time | Every weigh-in and the change | Hard to compare |
| Food changes | Each step written down | Hard to piece together later |
| Food recalls | Lot numbers and best-by dates saved | The bag is already in the trash |
See what your pet really eats, treats and all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this journal instead of going to the vet?
No, never. Your veterinarian decides what, and how much, your pet should eat. If your pet stops eating, or you notice a sudden change in appetite, thirst, or weight, call your veterinarian right away.
How much should I feed my dog?
Ask your veterinarian. This journal doesn't set amounts. Write your vet's plan on the vet's plan page, and log what's actually fed so you can both see the full picture.
How much should I feed my cat?
Ask your veterinarian. This journal doesn't set amounts. Write your vet's plan on the vet's plan page, and log what's actually fed so you can both see the full picture.
How do I weigh my dog at home?
A small dog can often be weighed by stepping on a scale while holding them, then subtracting your own weight. For a big dog, ask your vet's office whether you can stop by and use their scale. Try to use the same scale each time, since scales can vary. The weigh-in page keeps track of each weight, which scale you used, and how much your dog's weight changed, so you can share it with your vet.
