A: Yes, sets are available for bulls, stallions, rams, dogs, and camels, each with specific size and temperature adjustments.

Q3: Can parts be reused?
A: The outer casing and water jacket are reusable, while liners, cones, and tubes are single-use only.

Q4: Can one set be used for multiple species?
