From small animals to huge ones, weigh them all on Veterinary Scales

Keeping a tab on the weight of your pet is as important as keeping a tab on yours. A whole range of digital veterinary scales is available in the market today just for this purpose. Veterinary platform scales have a higher capacity of more than 550 pounds (250 kilograms) and are usually meant for veterinary clinics and hospitals. But general purpose electronic weighing scales are also available. With these you can check the weight of your pets at your home. Digital veterinary scales are known for their accuracy and will help you know their exact weight in no time at all. These are generally floor scales with low profile platforms, so that animals and livestock can easily step on them.

Electronic weighing scales are powered by batteries and most of them come with the auto-off feature to help conserve battery power. With Seca 606 Electronic veterinary scales, you can weigh up to 16,000 times without having to worry about replacing your battery. If you don't want to be bothered with batteries and battery replacements at all, you can go for an adapter for powering these scales. It might be hard to make animals stand still on the scales for weighing. But even if they step down before you could note the reading it's not a problem. The auto-hold function will continue to display the animal's weight even after it has left the scale. You can also store the weight and compare between the current and previous readings.

The large LCD displays of digital veterinary scales help in easy viewing. Some models have long cables so that you can place the indicator at a convenient location away from the scale base. Considering that veterinary platform scales will be put to frequent and rough usage, they are designed to last long even in damp conditions. With so many weighing sessions, the platform is bound to get soiled. But the rubber mat, meant for providing stability, can be easily removed for cleaning.

I personally would recommend the HealthOMeter 2842KL model to anyone who is on the lookout for electronic weighing scales. They use advanced microprocessor technology for high precision weighing purposes and can be used not just for animals but for humans too. You can choose to read the weight in pounds or in kilograms. by alina
