Veterinary Drug Handbook: Client Information Edition
"The Veterinary Drug Handbook: Client Information Edition" helps veterinarians and pharmacists bridge the drug information gap between themselves and the people (clients; owners) who are treating their animals.
Several studies have demonstrated that people receiving verbal information from health professionals retain very little of that information once they leave the premises of their health provider. The information provided in this book will supplement the actual care provided and help in the task at hand, namely to improve the health of animals. The authors have included drugs that are commonly prescribed by small animal and equine practitioners, both those that are veterinary and "human" labeled medications. The authors also provide this information in a format that can be understood by any reader.
The information presented in these monographs will enable the animal caregiver to be better informed about the medication in question and to work with their veterinarian and pharmacist on the journey to positive therapeutic outcomes.

Another one to invest in early in your veterinary career. It will make your life so much easier. Small, and portable for quick references. You should not memorize all the drug doses. Best to have them written down. Get this book if you are a vet student or a practitioner!

THE Drug reference
I have had many formularies over my 32 year career, some excellent, some birdcage liner. Plumbs is, to me,my daily "go to" reference . The practice has a hardback copy and I have an electronic copy on my phone and tablet . I see they are pushing the e-book and provide continuous updates. As an accredited "Old Fart" I do like having a physical book, but I have to admit on my new phone, it is so much faster and useful, I am about to update mine as an e-book
