What is the appropriate metric unit for the mass of a dog?

Answer 1

depends on the kind of dog your talking about but for teacup sizes about 3.5 lbs or five

Answer 2

It depends on the size of the dog. A small dog, like a chihuahua might weigh as little as 4 ounces while a large dog like a mastiff might weight more than 300 pounds.

Technically, ounces and pounds are not units of mass. Mass is a quality independent of gravity while force (such as ounces or pounds) is a quality of mass in a specific gravity. For example, an astronaut's mass is the same whether he is on Earth or on the moon, but his weight on the Earth is much greater than it is on the Moon because the Earth has more gravity.

However, a large dog would still have more mass than a small one.
