Portable Ultrasound Scanner Veterinary Pregnancy V12 with 3.5 MHz Convex Probe for Sheep, Dog, Cat and Pig.

For the price point this is a great little scanner. We use it to Ultrasound sheep. Based on the size and portability of the unit it works great to scan for pregnancies in the field or without handling equipment or a chute.The transducer (wand) does take getting used to as it has a freeze frame button on the wand that I kept pressing accidentally during the scans. And the wand does get a little slippery at times. But overall a great tool to know who is pregnant and who is not. Or check to make sure a ewe is still pregnant and hasn’t aborted.PROS: portability and size are great. Comes with an adjustable neck strap to keep your hands free and keeps it from being damaged by a jumpy animal. Unit is simple in design and use so not a large learning curve to be able to use it. Transducer wand is small enough to get into tight places. Rubberized case protects unit from accidental bumps. Also comes with a harder plastic carrying case to store the unit, cord and transducer. Charge seems to hold up to and gives you a cord free use for a fairly long time. We didn’t use it for more than two hours on a charge but it held up for the whole time.CONS: Depth the probe can view is only about 6.5 inches max and resolution is not that of the more expensive machines. Also, keeping the transducer jelly on the head of wand was a challenge. We had better luck wiping the gel on the ewe and then placing the wand. And a minor point but the transducer does make a vibrating/clicking/flickering noise that is audible and may set off a flighty sheep or goat but most weren’t triggered by it.Overall a great management tool for your farm or business.

Worked ok for about 10 month. Went to use it use it one day and would not do anything. Submitted a warranty claim. They said I was not using the original wall adapter to charge it and that voided the warranty.

I found this machine easy to use once I understood what each function was. It's not very intuitive to the average person. The picture is good enough to verify pregnancy, check fetal heartbeat, do early measurements on probably medium to large breeds. On my toy sized dogs this was highly inaccurate and off by weeks. So wouldn't suggest measurements on toy or small breeds. Overall for the money this is an incredible value if you are a dog or cat breeder. I could see it being helpful post deliver to make sure no more babies are in the uterus.Before you buy, I'd recommend the step up model with the better ultrasound probe. It will get you better quality imaging. If it's in budget, absolutely upgrade. Otherwise this one will do great and with good care it will last you a long time. I have started recommending this machine to my peers. The convenience is great.

I bought this less than 3 years ago and it is easy to use, but looking for a convex probe has turned out to be a nightmare! obviously the V12 is not available for a reason

Great customer service that stands behind their product with a one year warranty. I had some issues with mine, I contacted them, sent it back to them, and they repaired it for free, and shipped it back to me. Thankful for companies who have warranties and stand behind them.I use the ultrasound to confirm pregnancy in my English Bulldog moms. I love it because we can stay at home and save on an extra trip to the vet and an additional vet bill. The kids enjoy seeing the ultrasound in action as well.

Buyer BEWARE! Unless you want to spend a lot of money on something that can’t be used and the company WON’T contact you back to help you. I have been in chat groups trying to figure out what settings to use and EVERY setting I tried doesn’t work. I can’t get a clear picture to determine pregnancy.

Was just finally able to use this to try and confirm pregnancy in my dog. Not a great picture, directions are more for farm animals as opposed to dogs and I found them not to be very clear. Couldn't even tell for sure if she was expecting. Wish I could return it.

I bought this in April 2021 but didn't use it until October 2021 when my herd of goats was bred and ready for U/S. It worked great for my first two uses, but it was somehow "damaged" and the display stopped working. I was disappointed that Amazon's return policy was so strict on items a buyer may purchase but not use right away or on a regular basis and thought I was out of luck. I contacted VALUESTOREUS and they immediately replied to my email, promising to help me resolve the issue. Daniel in particular was extremely helpful. He offered to send me a new unit instead of making me wait up to 30 days for mine to be repaired! I am so grateful and relieved. Thank you, Daniel!!
