Should a veterinarian be skeptical if someone said that her adult collie weighed 40.0N ?

Should a nurse question a medical chart which showed that an average-looking patient had a mass of 200kg ?

On earth that 40 N weight would correspond to about m = W/g = 40/10 = 4 kilograms of mass which is around 8 pounds. This collie is actually a toy poodle.

200 kg ? That is about 450 pounds weight on earth which means the average patient stepped on the scale with her husband and brother in law.
