I’ve been experimenting with different types of thermometers in our clinic lately. It’s surprising how much of a difference there’s in accuracy and ease of use. I’d love to hear what everyone else finds most effective for taking and monitoring pet vitals, especially during busy hours.
I’ve found infrared thermometers super handy during rush hours — quick and pretty accurate! How are you finding the accuracy of the ones you’re testing?

I totally get where you’re coming from! I use a digital thermometer that has a memory function; it really helps keep track during hectic shifts. It’s a lifesaver when you’re juggling multiple pets, but I’ve noticed they can be a bit slower than some of those infrared ones.
I find handheld Doppler monitors great for quick heart rate checks in busy times. Have you tried one? They’re often spot-.
I get what you mean about the struggle with accuracy! I’ve been loving the combination of a digital thermometer and a smartphone app for tracking — the app really helps keep things organized during those crazy busy hours. It’s frustrating having to constantly check back on readings, but with the app, it’s a bit easier.
