I just got a clean bill of health for my chins from their vet. She used a scale to weigh my chins which was accurate to the gram. How often are you supposed to weigh chins (I forgot to ask this to my vet)? What are the more popular brands of scales chins owners use?
 
I try to weigh my guys about once a month, but once a week would probably be better (I tend to forget about it). If there is a significant change in weight between the previous weigh in then weigh them more often, or even daily if the chin is sick. Just try to weigh them at the same time every time, and having just peed, pooped, eaten, or drank or not can all effect the weight.

I don't know what brand is most popular, I just got a cheap (about $20) digital kitchen/postal/gram scale on Amazon that had good reviews. The one I use is a Taylor brand one.
