The design of a medication dosing system impacts how well and for how long the system remains accurate. For example, an electronic proportional additive pump, such as the Select Doser^™ product line from Genesis Instruments, is designed for long-term, consistent performance, while the accuracy of a passive or water-powered pump is more likely to be degraded by the water powering it.

Don't forget to remind your patients that a mild winter means less winter kill of fleas and ticks. That means greater pest pressure this summer.

Dental health is often overlooked in veterinary care, but it is an essential component of an animal’s overall well-being. Dental problems can cause significant discomfort and lead to other health issues if left untreated. Veterinary dental X-rays play a key role in identifying issues such as broken teeth, infections, periodontal disease and tumors, all of which are not always visible during routine oral examinations.

Capturing dental imagery requires accuracy and precision. While humans can be instructed to “hold still” during x-ray alignment, the same does not hold true for animals. They usually require anesthesia to keep them still for an accurate image.
