My 1yr old German shepherd fits on it - and gets on it when I ask him to! - at the vet he does not want to get on. He weighed 67.4lbs - on our human scale he would be 65.2lbs It is easy to set up and you can move it anywhere - use batteries or plug it in. Handy to have. It isn't too heavy to move or slide under a couch or bed.
