Compact Balances Help

Q: What features should I look for in a compact veterinary scale?

A: Compact scales work effectively as vet scales due to their ease of use and portability. Aside from their structural properties, they can be used to measure small animals when equipped with a dynamic weighing feature option. This allows the compact scale to take an average weight based upon the force exerted by the animal on the weighing pan.
