Dog Weight Management Tracker
Helping an overweight dog slim down is all about the trend over weeks, not a single weigh-in. PetHealthLog lets you log weight over time, keep an eye on meals and treats, and see the line heading the right way - so you and your vet can tell whether the plan is working. Free, no account, works offline.

Weight loss is a trend, not a single number
A lot of dogs carry extra weight, and it matters - it's linked to joint strain, less energy and other health issues. But weight loss is slow and gradual, and a single weigh-in tells you very little on its own. What matters is the direction over weeks.
That's hard to judge without a record. Without a steady log, it's easy to think the diet is working when the weight is actually creeping, or to give up on a plan that was quietly succeeding.
PetHealthLog is free, needs no account and works offline, so logging a weigh-in and keeping an eye on meals and treats builds the trend line you and your vet can read.
What the tracker actually does
Log weight over time
Record each weigh-in and see the trend on a timeline, so you're judging the direction over weeks rather than a single number.
Keep an eye on meals and treats
Note the feeding routine and treats alongside the weight, so it's clear what's driving the trend.
Set a routine and stay consistent
Track measured meals and any vet-set feeding plan, and keep it consistent day to day - the thing weight loss actually depends on.
Weight, vet visits and notes together
Keep weigh-ins, vet visits and notes on one private timeline, so a weight-management conversation starts from real data.
A vet-ready PDF
Export a clean weight history to bring to the vet to check progress and adjust the plan.
Body condition at a glance
Vets often score body condition on a scale; logging where your dog sits helps track the trend. Logging where each day falls helps you and your vet see the trend — not a diagnosis. Only your veterinarian can assess severity.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this dog weight tracker really free?
- Yes. Logging weight over time, the feeding routine and treats, vet visits and notes, and the PDF report are all free. No sign-up, no account, records stay on your device.
- How often should I weigh my dog?
- For a weight-loss plan, a regular interval - often something like weekly or fortnightly - makes the trend clear without obsessing over daily wobble, but follow the schedule your vet sets. The tracker's job is to make whatever rhythm you choose easy to keep and easy to read as a trend.
- How do I know if the plan is working?
- By the trend, not one weigh-in. A steady record of weight alongside the feeding routine shows whether things are heading the right way over weeks - which is exactly what the tracker is for. Your vet interprets the trend and adjusts the plan.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes. PetHealthLog is a progressive web app that works offline, so you can log a weigh-in without a connection.
- Is this a substitute for veterinary advice?
- No. PetHealthLog is a record-keeping tool, not veterinary advice. A weight-loss plan, the feeding amount and any prescription diet should be set with a licensed veterinarian; the tracker just records the weigh-ins and routine.
