BEFORE YOU TAKE A READING

Using a non-contact dog thermometer

Aim at exposed skin, not the coat.

Gently part the fur to reveal the measurement area. “Aim at the skin” does not mean pressing the device against it, and does not mean shaving or removing fur.

Read your model's instructions

Check the approved measurement location, distance, preparation, and operating sequence before starting.

Keep the view of the skin clear

Hair should not cover the area the sensor is aimed at. This is a non-contact device.

Check the sensor and surroundings

Follow the supplied instructions for sensor care and operating conditions.

Always use the measurement distance and technique specified in the instructions supplied with your thermometer. A reading or display color alone does not establish your dog's health. Contact your veterinarian if you are concerned.

Ear-area measurement with a non-contact design

Looking for a dog ear thermometer? This model uses infrared measurement without touching the skin. Retailer product information identifies the ear area or belly as measurement areas. Do not insert the device into the ear canal. Follow the instructions supplied with your exact model for positioning and distance.
