Testimonials from VetConsult users
- “I decided to subscribe to VetConsult to help prepare for my board examination to become a Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners in canine and feline practice. I successfully achieved this status in November 2022. I found the content very relevant, up to date, succinct, and well organized. I plan to continue using VetConsult in the future as a reference for future cases.”
—Nicola Council, DVM, DABVP (Canine and Feline Practice)
- “I like VetConsult, because it is concise yet thorough. It provides me with all the information I need to work up a case in just a few pages. The client handout feature is very helpful, too. It is a great investment, as it offers a wealth of information at a great price. I highly recommend it.”
—Peter Gusmorino, DVM
- “I have been using VetConsult with pleasure for about a year (right after I started practice). I find it a very useful tool. What I like to call ‘An everyday friend.’ I often use it to confirm therapeutic dosages or to get further information on certain diseases. I often use it to have complete information to give to owners. I find it very useful that the pathologies are subdivided by specialty, which makes consultation very easy. The sections are complete and comprehensive, and the information is adequate. Lastly, the fact that the bibliographical references to the articles are always given makes it possible to go deeper into the topics, if needed.”
—Erica Boat, Veterinarian
- “I was caught flat-footed with a case of uncontrollable hypertension in a miniature schnauzer. After a few minutes of POCUS, I got my hocus with a minute of research in VetConsult on my iPhone and was able to discuss potential medical and surgical treatments with my client.”
—Adam Behrens, VMD, Wandering Vet
