What Pet Weight Tracker does, with a checked example
This tool is a weigh-in logbook with a chart attached. Each entry is a date and a weight; enough entries build a growth curve, with the latest weight, the change since the previous entry, and the overall trend computed for you. A reference band on the chart shows where the pet's weight should sit for its age and expected adult size, and entries outside it stand out. What surprises most people: a single weighing is nearly useless. Weights fluctuate with meals, hydration, and scale differences, so the tool earns its keep over weeks, not on day one.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Log: Week 8 - 3.0 kg; Week 12 - 4.8 kg; Week 16 - 6.0 kg
->
Expected output
Latest weight 6.0 kg. Gain since the previous entry (week 12): +1.2 kg. Total gain since the first entry (week 8): +3.0 kg, an average of 0.375 kg per week. The curve shows weekly gain slowing from 0.45 kg/week (weeks 8-12) to 0.30 kg/week (weeks 12-16), the deceleration typical of a puppy nearing its growth plateau.
Every stated figure is simple arithmetic on the entered weights: the 0.45 and 0.30 kg/week rates come from dividing each 4-week gain by 4, and the overall 0.375 kg/week from dividing 3.0 kg by 8 weeks. The deceleration is the pattern the chart is designed to surface, since growth naturally slows as an animal approaches adult size.
