“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)

### "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.

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.

### "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.

June 26, 2024

5.0

Pros

I love the ease of access and simplicity of finding exactly what information I need. I especially love the interaction checker to make sure if that certain medications do not interact with each other and are safe to give at the same time.

I wish it was easier to put personalized notes in about certain drugs.

### "Use all day, everyday!"

March 20, 2024

5.0

Overall, love this app and advise it to every veterinarian I speak with.

Pros

I love the notes that I keep for certain disease's and medications. I have anesthesia protocols saved there. I have treatment plans... I love the notes portion!!!

Cons

I do not like when I am looking at dosages and then attempt to look at dosage forms that if brings me back to the original search screen every time. I wish I could go directly from dosages to dosage form. Also, the cost of Pro. I want to transition over because I LOVE Clinician's Brief and reference it for so many things but have not justified the cost yet.

### "Must have!"

March 20, 2024

5.0

I have never had a bad experience with Plumb’s. I started using it while in veterinary school for free and continued paying for it when I started practicing. I haven’t stopped using it!

Pros

I like the ease of use and how quickly I can find what I’m looking for. I utilize the app daily to search for dosages, drug interactions, and side effects. I also like to send the client handouts home when sending a new drug home with a patient.

Cons

I use the app daily, and have no complaints. It truly is so easy and helpful.

### "Best app for Vets yet"

March 19, 2024

5.0

Pros

I like the accessibility of the info I need straight on my phone. I can email pet parents' resources and give them information about their pets disease, treatment and prognosis from the palm of my hand without leaving the exam room. Any questions they have regarding their pets medication or drug interactions, I can answer right away. I also like the algorithm, which allows me to narrow down my differentials and what testing can be run to get answers faster than before. In addition I can look up a disease that I already know how to treat for new and improved treatments that I had not thought of before.

Cons

I would like to have an option to chat to other vets about their experience using certain drugs and treating different disease, almost like a consultation that’s included. Similar to what idexx does.

March 20, 2024

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.

Pros

Constantly updated. Easy to use, right in my pocket. Trustworthy. References provided.

Cons

The price of Plumb’s Pro is a little too steep for me.
