Detecto VET550 Medium-to-Large Size Animal Veterinary Scale: Durable, Portable Precision for Larger Pet Weighing

The Detecto VET550 Veterinary Scale is a rugged, stainless steel floor scale designed for accurate, efficient weighing of medium to large animals in veterinary clinics, zoos, shelters, and animal health facilities. With a high capacity of 550 lb / 250 kg and precision .2 lb / .1 kg divisions, this portable scale delivers reliable measurements for dogs, goats, and other larger animals.

The 36 in x 22 in (90 cm x 56 cm) low-profile platform features raised lip edges to help contain spills and prevent liquids from running off the surface. Constructed from durable stainless steel, the VET550 is easy to clean and ideal for frequent use. The remote digital indicator connects via a 7.0 ft (2.1 m) cable, giving users flexible placement options for easier visibility and operation. A wall-mount bracket and hardware are included for streamlined installation.

Whether used in a stationary setup or on the go, this scale is built for versatility. It includes built-in wheels and an integrated guide handle, allowing for smooth transport between exam rooms or field locations. Leveling feet ensure accuracy on uneven surfaces, and minimal assembly is required, just attach the non-skid feet and display mount.

Key functions include a HOLD key to retain the animal’s weight after it leaves the platform and a TARE function to subtract the weight of containers or crates. The USB port enables easy integration with electronic medical records (EMR) systems for streamlined data capture. The VET550 runs on the included AC adapter or 4 AA batteries (not included) and features a programmable Auto-Shutoff (adjustable up to 5 minutes) to preserve battery life when idle.
