Pet Feeding and Weight Chart

A free printable pet weight chart with feeding details on the same page — weight over time, food type and amount, plus a grid to plot the trend.

First page of the Pet Feeding and Weight Chart — Track weight against what the animal is actually being fed, so a change in one can be read against the other. A single weighing tells you very little; a column of them taken the same way each time is something a vet can use.

What this sheet is for

Track weight against what the animal is actually being fed, so a change in one can be read against the other. A single weighing tells you very little; a column of them taken the same way each time is something a vet can use.

Who it is for

Owners managing a weight change, feeding several animals in one house, or asked by a vet to keep an eye on an animal between appointments.

How to use it

  1. Record the food, the amount and who does the feeding, and update that block whenever you change something.
  2. Weigh the same way every time — same scales, same time of day, consistently before or after food.
  3. Add one line per weighing, and note anything that changed since the last one.
  4. Plot the figures on the grid so the trend is visible, and take it to the next appointment.

What is on the sheet

The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.

Questions

What weight should my pet be?

That is a question for your vet, and the answer depends on the animal, its breed, its age and its build rather than on any table. There is a field near the top to write down the figure they give you, so the chart has something to be measured against.

Why record who feeds the animal?

Because in many households more than one person does, and a weight change nobody can account for is worth checking against who fed what. Writing it down settles the question without an argument.

Home scales or the vet's?

Either, as long as it is the same one each time and you write down which you used. Comparing a reading from bathroom scales with one from the practice is how a trend turns into noise.
