A pet’s weight can be the first and sometimes the only indicator of health problems. According to specialists ‘pet obesity is the number one issue facing vets’. Obese animals can encounter breathing problems, as their lungs are forced to work harder to move their weight. In cats, hepatic lipidosis is a liver disease associated with obesity.

Each veterinary scale within our range has been designed to be different. Finding the right scale for you will depend on what you are weighing, the environment that you are weighing them in and how large the base needs to be.

For help finding the correct Marsden scale, please contact us today at sales@marsdengroup.co.uk.

A common question that we get here at Marsden is from concerned pet owners or veterinary surgery staff querying if their animal will fit on the scale.

Without physically seeing your pet, this can be a hard question to answer. However, we would always recommend taking a look at the base dimensions of the item on the product page. From these dimensions, you should begin to develop a greater understanding if this will be suitable for the animal in question.

Here at Marsden, we understand the importance of weighing your livestock.

For this reason, we are able to adapt our range of industrial weighing equipment to make it suitable for use on a busy farm. Contact us today to speak about the options available, 01709 364296.

If a weighing device is Class III approved (alternatively known as Trade Approved) and the seals on the device are broken, either for a repair or recalibration, the device will then have to be reverified.

For all Marsden equipment, reverification can only be carried out by a highly skilled Marsden engineer or trading standards.

A comprehensive procedure is carried out to reverify a scale, this is broken down into a variety of tests. Linearity and hysteresis, tare (if applicable), repeatability and eccentricity test. All of which are described in detail in EN45501:2015.

Once this process has been carried out, the engineer will then complete the relevant paper work and the scale is once again verified.
