Marsden V-110 Veterinary Scale, 150kg Capacity, Lightweight Animal Scale for Larger Pets.
- 150kg capacity, 100g graduations, large platform veterinary scale for larger dogs including giant breeds, heavier Labradors, German Shepherds and other dogs beyond the 100kg range of the V-100, at Marsden's most affordable large animal scale price point for practices needing higher capacity without premium cost.
- Large platform accommodates the wide body stance of larger dog breeds, providing a stable, comfortable surface for giant breeds that cannot fit comfortably onto the smaller platforms of compact veterinary scales, reducing the movement and anxiety that comes from a dog feeling unstable on an undersized platform.
- Portable design for flexible surgery deployment between consulting rooms, the reception area and weight management clinic spaces, with battery operation for use anywhere in the practice without fixed power point dependency.
- 100g graduation supports drug dosing calculations for large dogs in the 30-150kg range, where standard body-weight-based medication calculations for antibiotics, sedation protocols and anti-parasitics are performed to the nearest 100g body weight, a clinically sufficient precision level for large animal dosing in general companion animal practice.
Marsden V-110: High-Capacity Veterinary Scale for Larger Dogs and Heavier Pets
The Marsden V-110 extends the Marsden veterinary scale range to 150kg capacity with a large platform sized for giant breed dogs, heavier Labradors, German Shepherds and other large breed dogs that exceed the 100kg capacity of the V-100. With 100g graduations and battery-powered portable operation, the V-110 provides a cost-effective high-capacity option for practices that see a significant proportion of large and giant breed patients and need a reliable scale that accommodates their full patient weight range without stepping up to the premium V-150 or V-250.
The large platform is a practical animal welfare consideration for giant breeds: a dog that feels unstable on an undersized scale platform will shift, lean and resist weighing, making accurate readings difficult and the consultation more stressful for both patient and clinical team.

Veterinary Professional Context
Giant breed dogs, which include Great Danes, St. Bernards, Newfoundlands and Irish Wolfhounds, present specific challenges for veterinary weight monitoring: their body weight at adult size can approach or exceed the capacity of standard veterinary scales, and their large body dimensions require a platform that allows all four paws to be placed comfortably without overhang. The V-110 addresses both requirements within the more affordable mid-tier of the Marsden veterinary range. Pet obesity management is identified by the PDSA Animal Wellbeing (PAW) Report as the most prevalent welfare concern in UK companion animals, with over one in three dogs recorded as overweight: for large and giant breed dogs, obesity carries an accelerated risk of orthopaedic disease (hip and elbow dysplasia, cruciate ligament failure) where accurate weight monitoring is a primary outcome measure in weight management consultations.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the V-110 be specified rather than the V-100 for a general small animal practice?
The V-110 is the appropriate specification when the practice's patient caseload includes a significant proportion of large and giant breed dogs whose adult body weight approaches or exceeds 100kg, making the V-100's capacity range inadequate for routine weighing. For practices in areas with high populations of breeds such as St. Bernards, Great Danes, Newfoundlands or large working dogs, the V-110 ensures that all patients can be accurately weighed without reaching the scale's upper limit. The V-110 is also appropriate as a waiting area scale in practices where patients are weighed on arrival by veterinary nurses before the consultation, where the wider platform reduces handling time with nervous large-breed patients.
Is the V-110 or V-150 the better specification for a practice with a large dog weight management clinic?
The V-150 is the better specification for a dedicated weight management clinic environment where precision is the primary clinical priority: its 50g graduation (versus 100g on the V-110) detects smaller weight changes between consultations, which is clinically meaningful when monitoring a 60kg Labrador where a 200g weight loss between monthly appointments represents meaningful progress. The V-150 also adds a stainless steel surface for easier infection control between patients in a clinic setting. The V-110 is the more cost-effective choice for general weighing where the additional precision of the V-150 is not required for the specific clinical application.
