There are many factors that go into selecting veterinary equipment for your animal hospital or clinic. One you might not have thought much about is whether the animals in your care would approve of your selection. No, it isn’t a matter of asking them if they’d enjoy chewing on the stethoscope you’ve chosen. It is more a matter of whether the veterinary equipment will stand up to the challenges of being used around pets that can be a bit rough on them.
It is also about being able to offer them the highest level of care because you know you can count on your veterinary equipment to perform as it should. This is especially important with surgical equipment, such as anesthesia machines, monitoring equipment, and surgical lighting. You’ll also want to select veterinary equipment with the latest innovative features so you can take their care to the highest level. Being able to add laser surgery to your list of services is an example.
You also want to be able to make them as comfortable as possible and keep them safe from infections. Keeping these in mind will help you select veterinary equipment that can be cleaned and sterilized between patients. Working with a supplier who will address all your questions and provide guidance during selection, as well as be there with maintenance and repair services is the best way to be sure your veterinary equipment is pet approved. Of course, staff approval counts too. They won’t show their approval with a wagging tail or slobbery kiss on your ear, but they’ll appreciate it just the same.
