Will the VeraTemp Non-Contact Thermometer work on a horse or dog outside in winter?

I think it works pretty well (I have no idea where to point the instrument in animals ....). But I dont know if a very low outside temperature make an error in the meassure

Sure, but I would want to test how hot it gets before leaving it around pets or people.

It is a thermometer with a 4" steel probe , so it should work on anything not not enough to melt steel, but not left inside an oven.

Yes, the unit works off of passive infrared, which means the unit needs to see a change in temperature in motion to detect. So anything with a heat signature and moving within the detection area will be picked up.

Yes. I've had my sensor outside year round, from 90+ to -25. In extreme cold I've noticed a problem that it changes from degrees F to degrees C but other than that the sensor works great.

It should work just fine. I've used one for the past two winters to measure just how long the furnace runs. I used one last summer to see how much the house AC ran. Mine sits on the vent. The key is to place the unit where it will measure the maximum temperate swings as the AC/heater cycles. Another unit sits in greenhouse and is placed away from the heater as I want to know the temperature that the plants are at. I can still tell when the heater is on - for the most part - but the temperature swings are small and hard to see precisely.

Probably...the difficulty is going to be getting the sensor to be able to read something that is not static....but, will give you a general idea of the temperature, I think.

Yes but does not work well if you are trying to use it outdoors in cold weather.

The product manual says do not use outdoors. You may have to plug the unit inside the garage then run a heavy duty outdoor extension cord out to the dog house, or build a completely-water-proof enclosure for the unit outside so as to protect it from moisture. The unit will work in the temperature range as you wish.

I don't have expertise in thus area.. Better ask ranco (there is probably a range of temp it is designed to operate under).. There us more to consider then water for outside use; because temperature affects electronic circuits operation (I can't remember if the temp probe had an electrical connection or not.. If the probe has an electrical connection, it can probably operate in a wider temp range). I suspect you can use this outside with out door fittings connected to it..

I don't know, I use Kintrex IRT0421 Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer with Laser Targeting now.the maverick dead after one year.

I have not personally measured the on/off temps, but they claim it comes on at about 38F and then off in the mid 50sF. I would hesitate to trust it for a pet and would test it first. Check the details, but I believe this device is intended for INDOOR placement only. So it must be in a dry area that monitors the outside temp.

Yes but unsure if it safe for pets/humans? I believe that it gets up to 80 degrees. Very effective on snow and ice.

The infrared thermometers generally depends on the response of the color of the surface being measured. You have to check if this one is a a multicolor Thermometer. I can tell you that works really fine with my soon. But take a look also to verify the measure range, because can be different for dogs (sorry I'm not a Vet.).

I used it on our puppy when she only weigh 18 pounds, I suppose some cats could be that big. It's a non contact thermometer.

Yes. We put one on the outside of our kitchen window so that we can read the outside temperature before we go out of the house. It works.

Yes. And it pretty accurate. I've tried two different thermometers and the ridings was the same
