“The dosing information by species makes it much easier and the option of adding bookmarked information is wonderful (so I know my preferred dose for a granuloma or other specific disease).“

“I can find up to date information fast; other vets here are using the (old edition) print version, which is a lot slower and may be outdated information.“

“The app is easy to use and allows for you do so many things such as a Favorites list of the drugs you most commonly use, ability to place/save personal notes (I use this when I've gone to CE and the speaker recommends different dosages, etc.), drug interaction checker (useful for when you have patients with multiple conditions).“

### "Love plumb’s "

September 6, 2025

5.0

Wonderful, can't live without it and use it multiple times a day. I've never had issues accessing it and have never experienced it being buggy

Pros

Accessibility (available on my phone anywhere but also integrated with instinct at work), the client handouts and information from disease process through treatment and recommended monitoring

Cons

Doesn't always have duration of treatment for each condition (could be integrated from research/vin)

March 20, 2024

3.0

Pros

Fast searching, easy skip to dosage or drug interactions.

Cons

Unable to customize level of detail per pricepoint. I don't use the client handouts or differential mode. I would prefer to pay less for exclusive use of the drug search and dosage calculations.

### "So useful. "

July 11, 2024

5.0

So useful and easy to use. I use it daily and have not had any problems.

Pros

I love this platform for daily use including medication dosages and information, checking for drug interactions, algorithms, client handouts, and full disease information.

Cons

Would love handouts added on even more topics.

### "Best vet formulary on the market"

March 20, 2024

5.0

Amazing experience, I would not be the doctor I am today without Plumb’s. It truly is the most invaluable resource I can imagine to the veterinary community.

Pros

Easy mobile use, covers so many species with the inclusion of many special species, very comprehensive list of medications, many helpful tools, easy to view info.

Cons

The special species/exotics portion of the formulary is robust but not comprehensive enough, I still need Carpenter’s to reference for many of those species. I would like better info on dosage forms that can be compounded for common meds.

### "App Review for Basic Plumb's (not Pro)"

March 20, 2024

5.0

Overall, I like the app and will likely continue to get it. I would be less likely to continue if the price continues to increase.

Pros

The app is easy to use and allows for you do so many things such as a Favorites list of the drugs you most commonly use, ability to place/save personal notes (I use this when I've gone to CE and the speaker recommends different dosages, etc.), drug interaction checker (useful for when you have patients with multiple conditions).

Cons

The least favorite thing about the app is the price. It seems every year the app increases in cost. My job will not pay for this. If I didn't use the app frequently, I would not continue to get it. Within the app itself, I wish there was a dose calculator where I could plug the animal's weight (pounds/kg) in and get a dose or range.

### "Highly recommended!"

March 25, 2024

5.0

Pros

Excellent mobile app makes looking up drug information so convenient and fast. Search bar function is great—you can start typing name and medication pops up. I love the newer drug interaction checker—this alone has been worth the cost of subscription and makes it extremely easy to search for multiple drug interactions at a time.

Cons

The newer mobile app version has worked flawlessly for me so far, but previous version had some kinks where I couldn’t use search bar function. On rare occasion, I have looked up medication for which no information. While not cost prohibitive, it’d be nice if subscription cost was cheaper.

### "Will never buy books again!"

June 26, 2024

5.0

Great way to always have latest drug information, with access to published research articles as references

Pros

Convenient access to latest drug information… the newest version even has buttons to navigated quickly to doses and dose forms which saves me a TON of time!

Cons

Wish my practice would reimburse me for the annual cost, or invest in a team membership for everyone to use

### "Veterinarian in busy clinic"

June 26, 2024

5.0

Imperative to the way I practice. I will always double check a dose and check interactions for peace of mind

Pros

As a new grad, this product has been incredible to bring me confidence in my drug choices as well as dosing. I can also look up interactions with ease.

Cons

Overall this is a wonderful product. My first year in practice I used the flow charts to further help develop my skills. After one year out, I could not justify the cost of that, but the basic formulary is well worth the cost.

### "Useful Mobile App"

March 20, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like the up to date dosages, I appreciate when they have a note in the text about current recommendations and not just the labeled dose for a drug (i.e. trilostane). I like the search function working for generic and brand names.

Cons

Cost is a little much for an annual fee, but I understand that it has to be updated every year.

I started using Plumbs Pro as soon as I got licensed and it has honestly given me much peace of mind to know I have an easy access to a tool that will help me through the work up for my patients including treatment and also client information. I don't think I can work without it.
