Leave a Review Merck Vet Manual
  • Relevant and helpful!

    I’m a pharmacist and will be using this resource often for checking pet prescriptions in my practice. I love that this app exists!
  • Bible of vet knowledge in my phone

    The app is convenient to use and is very handy to fresh your memory on any diseases.
  • Search engine issue

    The search for common items doesn’t find any results much of the time. I’m even more frustrated because I paid for the app when I got it. There should be a index that could link to further reading on complex issues.
  • Not very up to date.

    First search was to find how to manage arthritis in dogs. Pretty common, yes? One article found, last updated in 2013. Pretty general at that. Disappointed.
  • Do not have sound in the app...

    This app is AWESOME and I am enjoying it..... All except there's no sound! It's very frustrating. I've checked that my mic is up and is working just fine elsewhere. Is there something I can do to fix this…? I would LOVE to continue learning with this app.
  • Great quick reference

    We can’t know everything, I when I get out of my specialty lane, this is a quick reference that really helps jog my memory. I had someone ask me about ryegrass staggers the other day (I have not done food animal in decades). A quick look in the Merck Manual refreshed my memory. I don’t know what issues others are having, but I have had no problem downloading or using the app on my iPhone or iPad.

  • Does what it says

    Not sure why this app was given a 1 star but have had no issues here and been able to find the information that I need.
  • Amazing

    This is a great app. And at no charge! It is easy to navigate and has great colored pictures. I wish I had this sooner. The downloading was easy....I just made sure I had a good connection. Well worth doing!
  • Easy download

    Overwhelmed with information. Will take time to learn. Thanks!!
  • This Vet will stick with print version!

    It is unbelievable that Merck, a renowned company with a more renowned veterinary reference book can’t supply an app that actually works. I am beyond disappointed AND frustrated after repeatedly attempting to download, install, uninstall, and reinstall numerous times. The app will simply not install onto my iPhone 7 or iPad Pro regardless of high quality internet speed and an over abundance of patience. I’m obviously not the only person out here having this same issue and it’s NOT because I can’t follow simple directions. The ***notation on the app store suggesting we just need to “install it right” in response to numerous complaints is beyond patronizing.
    Thanks for nothing Merck. It’s a shame because when I went to veterinary school, the Merck Manual was almost entirely what we studied before our board exams. Such a wonderful reference, but the app is a big pile of “feces”.

    Developer Response

    We regret that you are having trouble. Please contact merckmanualsinfo@merck.com for assistance. We investigated and discovered that the app requires 300 MB of free space to initialize or it freezes without warning. We will address this in the next release. We are also developing a smaller version of the app that accesses multimedia online.
