A Vet Tool is the perfect app for veterinarians, vet technicians, anyone working in the veterinary field, veterinary students, or anyone that is just interested in more information about the drugs and tests used at a vet clinic.

By downloading A Vet Tool you are getting five fully featured applications. The five applications are accessible through an easy to use tab based interface.

- The first application is a complete small animal (cat and dog) drug formulary with over 650 drugs. The drugs can be accessed quickly with an alphabetical index or by using the search function. Each drugs lists the indications and appropriate drug dosages in a format perfectly suited for the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. When compared to the price of a printed formulary this function alone makes A Vet Tool a great value!

- The second application contains common blood value lab results for birds, cats, cattle, dogs, ferrets, guinea pigs, horses, and turtles.

- The third application is a collection of x-ray comparisons such as a good knee versus an OA knee.

- The fourth application contains nine calculators:
• Math calculator with memory function, the memory is saved even when the app is exited.
• Conversion calculator that performs common conversions that a veterinary professional must do on a daily basis. It includes weight units (Kg, gram, mg, μg, ounce, lb), liquid units (Liter, dL, mL, ounce, tsp, tbsp, cc) and temperature units (Fahrenheit, Celsius, Kelvin).
• Age calculator which takes a birth date as the input and outputs the age in years, months, weeks, and days.
• Gestation calculator which can calculate the estimated birth date of several different species.
• Fluid rate calculator which can calculate the ml/hour for fluids.
• Dosage calculator to calculate how much mg of a drug should be given based on the patients weight.
• Body surface area calculator for dogs and cats.
• Energy Requirements calculator for dogs and cats.
• Transfusion calculator to determine the volume of donor blood needed

- The fifth application is a great notepad. The notepad allows you to categorize your notes with an icon that can be easily identified on the main note listing. The note titles can be searched to provide quick access. Notes can be added, deleted, and edited at any time.

A Vet Tool was created with the assistance of several veterinary professionals and will provide anyone in the veterinary field or interested in the veterinary field a great value for their iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.

Pros and cons of A Vet Tool app for iPhone and iPad

A Vet Tool app good for

Waiting for some updates (more info on the pharmacology, diseases description... Etc) ;)
This is perfect, the amount of options this app brings is amazing well done thanks.
Very helpful and informative app. Nice collection of info on medicine and blood work levels.
I am thankful veterinarian apps are finally being created. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to updates. Hopefully the print will be larger.
Drugs missing. Need to add more chemistries for common animal I dont do much on turtles.
Fantastic veterinary app!!! I am so impressed. And even better was the creator actually listened to my suggestions and added them! Worth every penny.

Some bad moments

This app is a loss of money. Formulary only for dogs and cats. Only doses. Nothing on pharmacology, side effects... Blood parameters are a simple list. Impossible to change units. Etc. Better scan your notes. 1 Star because minus star impossible.
Please do not buy this app, this is the worst app ever. There are only 6 radiographic images, gestation calculator is the worst thing ever,and all you get from the drugs is doses nothing else. Luke Campbell I hope you spend my money in medical bills you S.O.B.
Not worth all the money I spent on it. I wish I could get refunded. Id be happier If there was more information about the drugs, what they are used for, side effects, etc. But otherwise this app is pretty useless.
Not good application dont buy it piece of crap only doses are available but no side effects . dont buy it ever
Very disappointed, formulary down work just have blank screen. Definitely not worth paying for!
Dangerously incomplete and limited info for a professional. Just enough info for a layperson to be dangerous. Worthless radiology section. The formulary is outdated. Calculators were pretty lame (no drug dosage or fluid rate calculators?). More accurate hematology/chemistry reference intervals can be found on the web for free. Not impressed and totally surprised that anyone found this useful.
