However I find that Saunders provides the information to me in an easier to understand manner, as I find I can easily get lost in all the information Plumbs gives on each medication and I can lose sight of the important points I need to remember. I check both to verify dosages and ensure correct information, but when learning about medications Saunders presents it in a much clearer and succinct manner. Best formulary in vet med because doses are carefully thought about based on PK/PD concepts and evidence rather than just encyclopedic listings of all doses recommended publically but all types of vets. Dr. Papich "calls" the most appropriate dose which takes the guess work out asking vets to pick a doses based on "what other people use" or "what looks right". I never felt good about having to do that with other formularies, with this one I feel like I can lean on the wisdom of someone who has dedicated their career to evidence-based pharmacology. Isn't that how formularies are supposed to work? In the electronic form - A formulary with a nonexistant search function, a table of contents that does not list the drug names just the subsections of the drugs which are all the same. This book in electronic form is about as worthless as they get. I hard copy this book is ok but in electronic form it is impossible to navigate. - A waste of funds. I will never use it. I wish I could get my money back. Very helpful resource to bring in the clinic! I feel like my clinicians (just graduated veterinary school) agreed with doses I chose in this book more than other references, like plumbs. Would be better if it could fit in a lab coat pocket but not a bad size and worth carrying around! Its not as easy to scan through but I wouldn't recommend the kindle version as there is no search on it and you have to turn page per page on the digital version making it very hard to find what you want in a short time.

4 I'm a second year veterinary student and I bought this book because the layout is so easy to read and it has a lot of useful information for me. If I hear a drug in school or in practice that I don't know that much about, I go home and look it up. I really prefer this book over Plumb's just because the layout is easier for me and the font is bigger. I'm sure one day I will own both books, but for now this one is sufficient for me. Great book. I've used the first edition, and the second edition is just as good. I love the web access with the client handouts. It makes some explanations to clients much easier. The information in the book is accurate, concise, and straight forward. Would recommend this book for everyone from a veterinary student to a seasoned veterinarian. I absolutely love this book. It is by far my favorite formulary!! I love the trade name to generic chart. It is so easy to read and reference. Sooo much better than Plumb's!
