The flexible tip makes it comfortable and convenient to take an accurate reading, no matter which site is used. There is also a digital display window for easy reading and the thermometer is waterproof, meaning it is possible to fully sterilize it between uses.

A great choice if you’re looking for highly accurate readings, this thermometer for dogs is a vet-grade option. In other words, it’s perfect for those seeking the most accurate readings, as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, however, there have been some complaints about the battery life of this option. The company does offer a battery replacement service – but this comes with additional costs.

Ideal for dogs who aren’t too keen on more invasive thermometers, this option reads well within seconds. Even better, you don’t need to push it farther down the ear canal in order to get your accurate readings, either.

If you’re looking for an affordable, yet highly accurate dog thermometer, check out iProven Pet Thermometer.

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.

For those seeking more general temperature checks, to help maintain their dog’s overall health, this is a good option for your needs. Designed for dogs who aren’t keen on having probes inserted into their ears, this option uses infrared heat measurement, to provide you with a reading. Unfortunately, the distance can mean that accurate readings are less likely, as there are many variables, such as density of fur, for example.

However, it does provide quick results and offers dogs who are nervous an alternative. This might just be the right choice for your needs, if you rescue pups and need to get an indication of their overall wellbeing, for example. Or simply to see how your dog is doing from time to time.

The LCD display is easy to read, while the maximum temperature reading is 43C, meaning you’ll always know the exact temperature – right up to the point that you need to call a veterinarian!

A great choice for any pet owner, this thermometer is designed for families but works very well as a pet thermometer. It has a dual-use design, so you can either place the flat head against the skin (where possible), or use the probe for an in-ear reading, which is more accurate. It is advertised as non-contact, but reviewers note that this option needs to be placed against skin for an accurate reading.

If the subject has a temperature, the display flashes red and will even make different beeping sounds, depending on how high your temperature is.
