scalesntails 118 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 I can do metric or imperial. I weigh my dogs in metric as it makes it easier to calculate their food intake. I feed 2% a day to keep current weight 3% to increase and 1% to decrease. It's only as a guide as all dogs are different but its handy to give you a starting point. Quote Link to post
pattstaff 157 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 . Maybe a lot of folk dont have a scooby of their dogs weight, but then how do you know to feed / worm them proper etc.. You shouldn't need to weigh a dog to know it's at it's proper weight, your eyes should be able to tell you all you need to know, if they can't you've got a problem. Just for you I've weighed my dog he's 24" tall and weighs 51lb. He's 3/4 grey/ 1/4 collie X whippet/ [3/4 grey 1/4 collie]. When I first saw this pic I thought your dog had three legs lol Quote Link to post

I fully agree with regards to condition mate, but when it comes to worming, you need to know weight in order to give an effective dosage. you started a topic and asked a question regarding a dogs weight to its height as you think yours might be a bit heavy set! i wasnt going to bother posting as i can remember in a post i put up a while back you gave a smart ass reply to the pics i put up but i thought you were geniuly interested in knowing if your dog was a bit heavy set or over weight and as i have dogs similar size to your 23" request i replyed! obviously shouldnt have bothered nor any one else!! with me others took time out to post on this subject to give ya some idea and gave there dogs weight and height to give ya a bit of an insight to dogs weights and different breeds too. rather than appreciate folk that post on your topic to give ya some sort of idea of weights and breeds as obviously your unsure with yours(hence the topic)you ignore everyone and then give some advice of your own(above) i see other topics(in the ferreting section especially)where you are telling such not to post a subject again as its been posted already!!! your not a mod but your the typical THL specialist!!!! ASK a question and end up giving ADVICE your a plonker end of!!! like alot i know!!think they know everything but what ya really know you could write on the back of a postage stamp!!!! i wont take the time to post on any of your threads again and wont post anymore on this one either. you wont see this post until ya get in from school tomorrow i have no doubt Quote Link to post

All i said above was that i thought that you needed to know a digs weight to give a correct wormig dose? It's hardly the crime of the centuary, and i wasn't exactly rude about it. If that comment is the worst you can find on here then your a wee bit blind matey. As to ignoring you, i'm sorry i didnt post 'thankyou, nice dog' after every reply. It's a forum, its full of banter, get over it. As for being 'a plonker, end of' you dont know me, so can't judge me. Your just having a bit of a tantrum aint ya. 'I wont take the time to post on any of your threads again' . You have some great looking dogs, some great looking birds and seem a decent bloke. But right now your acting a bit precious. In school? Of hunting dick head! Quote Link to post

I fully agree with regards to condition mate, but when it comes to worming, you need to know weight in order to give an effective dosage. To be fair mate you did say how would you know how to feed / worm them proper etc and as I've answered if anyone doesn't know when a dog needs a bit more or a bit less it's maybe time they didn't have a dog. Well that seems to be the opinion of some in the ferret section. Regarding worming, you don't need to know the dogs exact weight to worm it effectively, again if you can't judge the weight of your dog to within 2-3lb either way your eyes can't be working the way they should.
