“We use Vetlexicon in practice quite frequently. We have a lot of mixed orthopedic procedures which we like to use the client factsheets for. It’s a really handy resource just for when you’re not quite sure what you’re doing, just to look something up quickly in between client slots.”

“We love the ease of access to Vetlexicon where ever we are.  As equine vets, we are often consulting out of the office and access to reference textbooks etc. can be tricky.  The ease of being able to open a laptop and brush up before a consult or simply show clients a similar image as a reference is so useful and makes us more efficient.”

“It’s an easy accessible trustable source of clinical information that I can rely on to confirm or helps to find a diagnosis.”
