It's wise to select veterinary scales that have a low profile. Typically, it's hard to get an animal, such as a dog, elephant, or alpaca, to step onto the platform scale. Likewise, you need a large stainless steel platform that will resist any animal droppings or urine that the animal might produce while being stressed or afraid.
We offer a wide selection of animal scales, and they're designed for accuracy and affordability. Our customers appreciate us because we offer many products, such as cat scales for small animals. If you have questions, you can contact us to determine the options that meet your needs. Here are a few more pointers for your veterinary scales purchase.
-
Type of Animals - What's the maximum capacity you'll be weighing? Are you dealing mainly with large animals or smaller ones?
-
Platform Size and Material - Do you need a rugged steel platform, or will a plastic one work well? What platform size do you require? Do the veterinary scales have to be portable?
-
Battery Life - Will you be okay with a standard battery life, or will you need some way to extend that? Do you require a hold feature? Will an AC adapter be more beneficial because you can plug it into a wall outlet?
-
Load Cells - Having four load cells is often beneficial because there is more mechanical force to weigh the object. That's what makes the scale convenient.
-
Wait Times - How long will you need to wait to get a stable weight indication? Will you require a hold feature to allow more time for large animals to get up there?
-
Construction Quality - Do you require a veterinary scale that's built solidly, or is a lightweight and inexpensive option made of stainless steel the better choice?
-
Other Features - When choosing the products you want, it's wise to see what features it contains. For example, adjustable leveling feet, an AC adapter, and an LED display can make life easier. Will you need something that can hold bulk containers with larger animals? Is a tare function ideal? Does the scale come with a rubber mat, and can it handle unstable weight? Are you weighing feed carts or other livestock?
