VET Ear Penguin
Digital otoscopes specifically designed for veterinarians
The VET Ear Penguin is a unique otoscope which can be used as a traditional optical otoscope or as a HD digital otoscope. The patented removable front chamber can be replaced by a HD digital camera in seconds.
A true pocket rocket otoscope – the VET Ear Penguin fits in your pocket
Weighing just 65 grams, the optical VET Ear Penguin might be the smallest veterinary optical otoscope available. In addition, the VET Ear Penguin features several modern improvements such as superior ergonomics, powerful LED lighting and wireless charging.
Record, replay and reconsider – easy documentation for better ear diagnostics
Use the VET Ear Penguin camera with your smartphone or tablet for better diagnostics and patient satisfaction. One of the digital VET Ear Penguin’s biggest benefits is the ability to record findings from ear examinations. This enables more accurate diagnosis, documentation, and follow-up. If necessary, you can easily send videos to a specialist for their opinion.
Keep your distance! – the pet friendly ear examination
Having an ear examined can be scary for an animal. This fear is reduced when the VET does not have to come as close as with optical otoscopes. The digital Ear Penguin helps to keep a comfortable and safe distance to the pet. No more keyhole diagnostics!
Disposable medical grade ear speculums – easy, ecological and cost-effective
We offer 6 mm disposable veterinary speculums. The speculums are made from surplus (waste) medical-grade plastic. The warm-feeling material and the rounded tip is designed to avoid discomfort during examination.

Do you offer different speculum sizes?
At the moment the 6 mm speculum is our only option. However, vets working with smaller animals with shorter ear canals should consider the human otoscope version (2.5 mm and 4 mm speculums available). Ask for a bundle price offer!
Can I use my own tablet or smartphone?
You can use all Sibbo MD devices with your own Android smartphone or tablet (iOS coming spring 2026). You need to download the Sibbo MD app from the Google Play store. However, since there are so many Android manufacturers, we cannot guarantee that the otoscope will work with every possible Android device.
How is the VET Ear Penguin cleaned? What if I need to disinfect it?
The Ear Penguin can be cleaned using medical grade cleaning wipes with applicable intended purpose (e.g. 70%-isopropanol). Use a damp cloth, do not soak. For comprehensive disinfection we recommend with Tristel Trio or UV Smart D25 devices.
