How long does the thermometer take to give a reading?
The temperature appears on the digital display within 20 seconds.
What is the hole at the end of the thermometer for?
It lets you pass a finger through to hold the thermometer securely in position while the reading is taken, which makes the job easier if you are working on your own.
How do I clean it?
Clean the thermometer thoroughly after every use and store it dry. The durable plastic body wipes clean easily.
Can I use it at competitions?
Yes. It is compact and quick to use, so it packs easily into a competition bag or lorry first aid kit for checking temperature away from home.
Does it replace veterinary advice?
No. It is a monitoring tool to help you track your horse's temperature. Always contact your vet if a reading concerns you or your horse seems unwell.
