FAQs – Frequently asked questions about veterinary scales
What are veterinary scales used for?
Animal scales are used in veterinary practices, animal clinics, zoos, animal shelters, livestock farming, and by breeders. Regular weighing is crucial for health checks, medication dosing, and feeding plans.
What should I consider when buying veterinary scales?
Pay attention to:
- Load capacity and weighing accuracy
- Size of the weighing surface and weighing range
- Type of animals to be weighed
- Cleaning and hygiene standards
- Power supply (mains connection, rechargeable battery, battery operation), mobility and accessories if necessary
- Hold function
Which functions are particularly useful in veterinary scales?
Modern veterinary scales offer various functions that make weighing easier:
- Hold function: Stores the weight value even if the animal moves.
- Tare function: Allows the weight of containers or mats to be deducted.
- Motion filter: Stabilizes the weight of restless animals.
- Non-slip surface: Ensures safety and comfort for the animal.
- Mains and battery operation: Flexibility in terms of where it can be used.

What are veterinary scales used for?
Veterinary scales are suitable for many animal species and areas of application. Typical applications include:
- Veterinary practices and clinics: weighing dogs, cats and small animals safely
- Stables and agriculture: reliably weighing farm animals, large dogs or heavier animals
- Zoos and animal husbandry: controlled weighing of animals requiring more space
- Breeding and care: regularly documenting weight development
Requirements vary significantly depending on the application. A compact platform scale is often sufficient for small or medium-sized animals. For larger animals, however, a high load capacity, a large weighing surface and a robust design are essential. This is precisely why it is worth taking a close look at the animal’s size, behaviour and place of use before making a purchase.
What should you look out for when buying a veterinary scale?
- Load capacity: The scales should be suitable for the animal’s maximum weight and have some margin to spare.
- Weighing platform: The animal must be able to stand securely and as still as possible on the platform.
- Hold function: Particularly useful for restless animals, as it ensures the weight reading remains stable.
- Readability: Depending on the application, a finer scale division may be advisable, for example when weighing smaller or sensitive animals.
- Durability and cleaning: In practice, stables and veterinary clinics, the scales should be easy to clean and robust.
- Place of use: Different requirements often apply to fixed locations than to flexible or changing locations.
Buying guide: Which veterinary scales do we recommend?
If you primarily wish to weigh large or heavy animals, the Soehnle 6958.01.002 veterinary scale is a very robust solution. It offers a maximum capacity of 1,500 kg and a large weighing platform measuring 2,087 x 1,010 mm, making it ideal for animals that require plenty of space. This model is particularly suitable for stables, farms, zoos or other professional applications involving larger animals.
If, on the other hand, you are looking for a more flexible solution for small to medium-sized animals, the KERN EOE series platform scales are worth considering. The series is available in several variants and is well suited to situations where different animal sizes or varying requirements need to be accommodated. This is particularly practical for veterinary practices, smaller animal husbandry operations or applications where a more compact design is required.
Put simply: for large animals and high load capacities, the Soehnle veterinary scale is the better choice. For small to medium-sized animals and greater flexibility in day-to-day use, the KERN EOE series is often the more suitable solution.
Which pet scales are right for your needs?
If you mainly weigh dogs, cats or smaller animals, you should focus above all on a compact platform, clear readability and ease of use. If you want to weigh larger animals, you should pay particular attention to the load capacity, platform size and stability. A ‘hold’ function saves a lot of time in everyday use, especially with nervous or restless animals.
It is not just the animal’s weight that matters, but also how still it stands on the scales. A platform that is too small or a load capacity that is too low makes weighing unnecessarily difficult. That is why it is always worth choosing scales that are suited to your actual needs.
Service and Quality
We provide practical and easy-to-understand guidance to help you choose the right veterinary scale. This will help you find the right solution more quickly, tailored to the animal species, location and required features. If calibration, maintenance or repairs are also important for professional use, we can assist you with the appropriate services.
Conclusion & Recommendation
With the right veterinary scale, you can work more safely, quickly and accurately in your day-to-day practice. Whether you need a compact platform scale for smaller animals or a robust large-animal scale for heavy loads, the key factors are the correct load capacity, a sufficiently large weighing surface and simple, reliable operation.
If you’re looking for a versatile animal scale for small to medium-sized animals, the KERN EOE series is a good choice. For larger animals and demanding applications, we recommend the Soehnle 6958.01.002 veterinary scale.
