What is the V-150?
The Marsden V-150 is a large, professional veterinary scale which has a large stainless steel base. It has an accuracy to 50g or 100g and a non slip mat. The scale is powered by rechargeable battery and has Zero, Hold and Tare functions. Animals can be weighed in either kg/g or lb/oz using this veterinary scale.
Why should animals be weighed?
A pet’s weight can be the first and sometimes the only indicator of health problems. Specialists suggest ‘pet obesity is the number one issue facing vets’. Animals which are obese can encounter breathing problems, as their lungs are forced to work harder in order to move their weight. In cats, hepatic lipidosis is a liver disease which is associated with obesity.
Why should I choose the V-150?
The V-150 is suitable for weighing pets up to 300kg. This veterinary scale can be found in veterinary practices across the UK, and is also used by Battersea Dogs & Cats’ Home.
