Colexy Small-animal scale review

The cheapest scale here: up to 15 kg (33.1 lb) with four weighing modes, an ABS body and a backlit display. It is the entry point for weighing a cat at home.

What we take from it Good enough for a monthly check, and no substitute for a scale that publishes its accuracy. At this price that is a fair trade.

What it is

A small digital pet scale: up to 15 kg (33.1 lb), four weighing modes, an ABS body and a backlit LCD.

What it is for

Noticing. A cat’s weight changes slowly and invisibly under a coat, and the difference between “he seems fine” and a number written down once a month is substantial. This is the cheapest way to have the number.

What it does not tell you

Its own accuracy. Colexy publishes modes and capacity but no resolution figure, so it cannot be compared against the ±2 g (0.1 oz) of the MINDPET-MED. For monthly checks that is tolerable; for a growth chart it is not.

The carrier trick

Cats object to standing on strange flat objects. Put a box or the carrier on the scale, tare it to zero, then put the cat in — the reading is the cat, and nobody has to be persuaded of anything.

Availability

Catalogued and unsold: the American Amazon shop lists the reference with nobody behind it.

What we rate, and what we flag up

  • ABS wipes clean
  • Listed on all six markets

Compromises

  • 15 kg (33.1 lb) ceiling — cats and very small dogs only
  • The listing does not publish a resolution figure
  • Small platform: an animal has to sit on it rather than stand across it

The questions owners ask

What is missing compared with the MINDPET-MED?

A published accuracy figure, mainly, and tray size. The MINDPET-MED states ±2 g (0.1 oz); this listing states none, which means it cannot be compared on the specification that matters most in a small-animal scale.

Is a cheap scale good enough?

To notice that a cat has lost a lot of weight, yes. To follow a kitten’s growth or a controlled diet, the finer instrument earns its price. Buy for the job you actually have.

How do I get a cat to stay on it?

Put the carrier or a familiar box on the scale, tare it, then put the cat in. Almost every cat that refuses a bare platform will sit in a box on one, and the tare function makes the arithmetic disappear.

Our score

6.9/ 10

Good enough for a monthly check, and no substitute for a scale that publishes its accuracy. At this price that is a fair trade.
