GNW ensures that your scales are calibrated and performing correctly. The importance of veterinary scale calibration should not be overlooked. Animal weight is often used to help diagnose conditions and also to ensure the correct dosage of medication is prescribed. If scales are not performing within their correct specification, then it could be putting animals’ lives at risk.

Our friendly team is able to calibrate your animal scales at our works, or we can visit your premises and calibrate your scales on site. We use either M1 or F1 calibration weights to ensure your scales are performing correctly.

If our technical team comes across a problem during calibration, we are able to provide repair services for scales and balances from all manufacturers. We do not charge any inspection fees and all work is quoted to you beforehand.

What is the importance of Veterinary Scale Calibration?

Veterinary scale calibration holds immense importance in ensuring accurate and reliable weight measurements for animals in diverse healthcare settings. Whether in a veterinary clinic, research facility, or animal care institution, precise weight readings are crucial for proper diagnosis, medication dosage, and overall health management of animals. Here are key reasons highlighting the significance of veterinary scale calibration:

Accurate Medication Dosage: Precise weight measurements are essential for determining the correct dosage of medications for animals. Veterinary scale calibration ensures that medication administration is tailored to the specific weight of the animal, preventing under or overdosing, and promoting effective treatment.

Diagnostic Precision: In veterinary diagnostics, weight measurements are often used as a baseline for assessing an animal’s health. Calibration ensures that the scales provide accurate readings, aiding veterinarians in identifying weight fluctuations that may indicate underlying health issues.

Monitoring Growth and Nutrition: Regular veterinary scale calibration is vital for monitoring the growth and nutritional status of animals, especially in breeding programs or facilities caring for young animals. Accurate weight data is crucial for making informed decisions about feeding regimens and overall healthcare.

Compliance with Regulations: Veterinary practices are subject to regulations and standards, and accurate weight measurements are often a key component. Calibration ensures compliance with these regulations, safeguarding the integrity of veterinary operations and maintaining the well-being of the animals under care.

However, more frequent calibration may be necessary in certain situations, such as heavy usage or if the scales are exposed to harsh conditions.
