Infrared thermometer
In stock
An infrared thermometer for veterinary use is a non-invasive tool that measures the thermal radiation emitted by an animal's skin or specific body surfaces. While primarily used as a stress-free screening alternative to rectal thermometers, clinical studies note they do not always perfectly measure core body temperature.

Specs & features.
Veterinary infrared thermometers, or Non-Contact Infrared Thermometers (NCITs), use point-and-shoot technology to detect electromagnetic waves emitted from the target area. They replace traditional invasive rectal probes with a quick, "hands-off" approach.
No specifications have been listed.
- Rapid Readings: Provides spot temperature measurements in milliseconds to about 1 second.
- No Animal Contact: Drastically minimizes stress, physical struggle, and risk of cross-contamination.
- Targeting Aids: Many devices feature dual-lasers, LED converging arcs, or distance sensors to guarantee the thermometer is held at the optimal distance.
