If you’re looking for an affordable, yet highly accurate dog thermometer, check out iProven Pet Thermometer. With a soft and flexible tip, this rectal digital thermometer is easy and pretty quick to use. It’s comfortable for the pet (even the super-wriggly ones won’t mind this thermometer much!) and gives results in about 20 seconds, which is pretty fast for a device that costs less than $15. The model is also waterproof, so easy to clean and maintain as well.

The iProven shows results either in Fahrenheit or Celsius, whichever works better for you. Because it has a simple design and comes in a hard case, the thermometer is not only easy to use, but store too. All you have to do is apply a little bit of petroleum jelly or baby oil to insert the probe more easily, and hold your pet so you can take a measurement. After you’re done using it, clean the thermometer and store it in its case – done! The only downside? Batteries do need to be changed often, but at least the product comes with batteries included.

This is an infrared thermometer, meaning direct bodily contact is not necessary when taking the temperature. While it can be used for humans, it’s also suitable for pets – simply switch from Surface to Animal mode and aim around 2 inches (5cm) from your dog’s skin. The no-touch feature makes taking your pet’s temperature less stressful for them – and for you too.

The LCD display has a backlit display, so it’s easy to read in all lights. The display is also color coded, with the color changing depending on the level of the animal’s temperature: green indicates a temperature within the normal range; orange suggests a slightly elevated temperature; and red, which indicates a high fever requiring immediate attention. There’s a buzzer too, which can be switched off if you think your pet is likely to be discomfited by the noise.

The White Coat Fast Reading Digital Thermometer has a flexible tip for easy and comfortable use, molding itself to the area in which the temperature is being taken for a more accurate result. The thermometer will beep once temperature reading is taken, and it also stores the last reading taken so results can be compared over time. It is suitable for use in pets as well as humans (children to adults). The thermometer sounds an alarm if the temperature is above 100^oF, although this might not be relevant when utilized on pets. Another point to note is that the product has no backlight.

However, this thermometer does measure both Celsius and Fahrenheit and comes with 30 bonus probe covers included in the price. There is also a hard shell case for protection whilst not in use, for travel and so on. The unit is covered by a one year warranty.

Accurate, quick and comfortable to use, you can’t go wrong with Kamsay Thermometer. This digital device can be used for both babies and pets, as it’s perfectly safe and highly accurate. Thanks to its soft and flexible tip, it’s easy to insert too, which is especially beneficial when measuring rectally. It helps you don’t have to wait long to get the measurements – about 10 seconds is all it takes. The display is large and lighted, so you shouldnt; have any issues reading the measurements easily even in the dark. Another useful feature is dual measurement reading (both Celsius and Fahrenheit).

The Kamsay device is waterproof and should be cleaned after each use, just like any other thermometer. It can be used rectally, orally or axillary, but using it rectally is recommended as it gives the most accurate measurements. Thanks to its sturdy construction and protective case, it’s also easy to store. The only minus we could find is it doesn’t stay lit up once the reading has finalized.

Compact, cheap and easy to use, the ADC Veterinary Thermometer is just under 5 inches long, making it perfect for travel and easy storage. The device is specifically designed for veterinary purposes, so it can be used on dogs and other pets of all sizes and ages. It comes with a dual scale range of 90°F – 111.9°F, ±.2°F, or 32.0°C – 43.9°C, ±.1°C, providing accurate and quick results. That said, it’s certainly not the fastest thermometer out there – it takes anywhere between 10 to 60 seconds to accurately measure your pup’s temperature. The good thing is that it’s fairly easy to use as it’s specifically designed for use in animals.

This model comes in a handy carry case and includes five probe sheaths for hygienic use. The coin-type battery is also included and provides up to 1,500 measurements. Of course, it’s also replaceable, so when the battery flag starts blinking, it’s time to replace it.

While rectal temperature measurements tend to be the most accurate, if you have a pet who simply won’t let you take their temperature in that way, there’s no point in purchasing such a thermometer. Your next best bet? A non-contact thermometer such as the iCare-Pet Clinic Thermometer for Pets. This handy little device works by measuring a pet’s ear temperature in a span of a few seconds – the larger the ears, the faster the results. Besides measuring body temperature of dogs, cats, rabbits and other pets, the iCare-Pet thermometer can also take air and water temperatures too. This is thanks to the device’s Air Mode an Object Mode features which we found to be very handy, particularly if you have to test milk or water surface temperature when feeding puppies.

This model comes with 32 memories recalls, which can help you monitor your pet’s temperature and overall health better. The measuring range for pet body is 89.6-109.2 F, and for objects and air 32-140 F. On the downside, the device doesn’t provide dual range scale.

Specifically designed to be used on pets and other animals, the Hurinan Animal Electronic Ehermometer is accurate and easy to use. Thanks to its small, 3-inch long probe, it’s not uncomfortable for the pet either, regardless of their size. The device is battery powered and comes with a large LCD that shows temperatures to +/- 0.2 F. Highly accurate, the device reads measurements either in Fahrenheit or Celsius and can be used both orally and rectally.

The Hurinan thermometer is easy to clean as well, as all you have to do is clean the tip with alcohol or soap after each use. While the manufacturer doesn’t specify exactly how long the device takes to measure the body temperature, most consumers agree it takes good 30-40 seconds.

The Aurynns Pet Thermometer is veterinary approved, accurate and easy to use on a number of pets, including dogs, cats, horses, cows and other animals. With a simple, ergonomic design and small LCD, the device is easy to use even on fussy dogs and puppies as it’s comfortable both for you and the animal. It can be used either orally or rectally, and no matter which way you go, it takes about 20 seconds to record and display body temperature. Considering the affordable price, this is pretty quick!

While reliable and accurate, the model cannot switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius, which is something to keep in mind if you like to have both scale ranges on hand. There is an automatic shut-off feature though, which helps save battery life.
