<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pet body fat measuring tool easily and accurately measuring body fat of a pet without requiring much time by using an impedance method. <P>SOLUTION: The invention relates to the pet body fat measuring tool 10 for measuring pet body fat by measuring bioelectrical impedance comprising an electrode body 11 having at least two voltage electrodes 13 and at least two current electrodes 14 used by being pressed to a part of the pet body, and a control calculating unit 12 having an impedance measuring circuit connected to the electrode body 11 to control the current made to flow at a time of measurement and to calculate body fat based on bioelectrical impedance determined from measured voltages, wherein a distance L1 between each of the voltage electrodes 13 and each of the current electrodes 14 of the electrode body 11 and a distance L2 between the voltage electrodes 13 of the electrode body 11 are fixed. An electrolysis solution or organic solvent is held and supported by body hairs existing between a surface of a pet body and a surface of each of the electrodes 13, 14. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
