We at Georgian Anesthesia and Medical Corp. want to help every medical professional take the best care of their patients, and we offer state-of-the-art equipment to help you do just that. Our team works with a wide range of medical experts, including both doctors and veterinarians.

In this article, we will focus on the veterinary side of our operation and dial in on the importance of high-quality veterinary scales. Keep reading to learn why veterinary scales are such an important tool to have in your practice.

  • Weight Monitoring – Monitoring a patient’s weight is important for both human and veterinary medicine, as sudden changes in weight can indicate underlying health conditions, such as thyroid problems. Tracking patients’ weights is especially important for veterinarians; a human losing a few pounds is usually no big deal, but a cat losing a few pounds may be losing huge amounts of their total body mass.
  • Patient Comfort – Another reason why every vet needs veterinary scales is because they are designed to keep animal patients as comfortable as possible when being weighed. The scales we offer have been specifically designed to minimize an animal’s anxiety, which helps keep the patient calm during medical examinations and results in a better experience for both the animal and the vet staff.
  • Additional Features – Lastly, many of the latest veterinary scales offer additional features, such as data storage options. These features will allow you to save each patient’s weight data directly to their file, which makes it easier to record the information you need while streamlining the rest of the appointment.
