What is the PetMedics non-contact dog thermometer?
The PetMedics 2P1R0006 is a handheld infrared digital thermometer for dogs, powered by iHome. It has an illuminated color display, memory recall, and a silent-mode control.
Does a non-contact dog thermometer need to touch the skin?
No. Gently part the fur so the sensor has a clear view of the measurement area, then aim above the exposed skin without touching it. Do not shave or pull out fur. Follow the distance and technique in the instructions supplied with your exact model.
Can I take a temperature reading through my dog’s fur?
Hair can obstruct the sensor’s view of the skin. Gently part the fur and use a measurement area specified in the product instructions, rather than aiming through a thick coat.
Can I use this as a dog ear thermometer?
The ear area and belly are measurement areas identified in this product’s retailer information. This is a non-contact design: do not insert the thermometer into the ear canal. Follow your model’s instructions for the exact location and distance.
What should I check before taking a reading?
Read the instructions supplied with your thermometer. Check the measurement location and distance, make sure fur is not covering the target skin, and follow the instructions for sensor care and room conditions. Contact PetMedics support if you need help with your model.
What batteries does the PetMedics thermometer use?
The PetMedics 2P1R0006 uses two AAA batteries. Check your retailer listing and package for the contents of the version you purchase.
Does it have a silent mode and memory recall?
Yes. The front of the thermometer has a silent-mode control and a memory button. Follow your product instructions to operate them.
Is this a rectal thermometer?
No. This model uses a non-contact infrared design. It is not intended for rectal insertion.
