Veterinary Scale: Vital to the Practice

28 18:29:56

A Veterinary Scale is a vital part for veterinarians and their
success. As pets come to be thoroughly examined, they must be
weighed. A Veterinary Scale is designed to handle the weighing
of both small and large animals while minimizing any discomfort
the animal may feel.

A floor scale is a wonderful model because animals can simply
rest on the floor scale and have their weight calculated in a
non-threatening environment. Many floor Veterinary Scales are
designed to handle up to 200 lbs. The majority of these floor
scales are battery operated to prevent further damage from
unruly electrical cords.

Some farm Veterinary Scales are designed to weigh much heavier
farm animals than the typical household pet. Some of these farm
Veterinary Scales can handle weights between 500- 2,500 pounds.
These are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Small Scales for use by Vets for Animals

Many Vets choose to use small scales for animals. These small
scales are compact and some are even portable. This allows for
greater freedom when dealing with overactive pets. Large LCD
displays ensure that accurate readings will be detected every
time.

Some vets choose to use scales that contain small trays for easy
placement of animals. These scales are reminiscent of the infant
or baby scale. The trays are fully detachable so that they can
be sanitized and cleaned. Many of these veterinary scales hold
up to 50 pounds.

There are Bench and
Countertop Veterinary Scales as well as scales designed with
a balance beam construction. Whether using small scales for pets
or large scales for farm animals, the veterinarian must have
adequate scales to be efficient and effective at his or her job.
