FormuVet

FormuVet is a clinical decision-support tool for veterinary professionals working with dogs and cats. It puts species-specific dosing, safety checks and everyday clinical calculators in one place, so you spend less time cross- referencing and more time with the patient. DRUG FORMULARY Search an A–Z formulary of small-animal medications. Every monograph gives you dosing by route — IV, IM, SC, PO — with the species it applies to, plus the breed-specific caveats that matter in practice. BUILT FOR THE CONSULT ROOM • Quick Treatments — common presentations with ready regimens • Drug Protocols and Chemotherapy Protocols • Fluid Therapy and CRI calculators • Calorie, gestation and blood transfusion calculators • Chocolate toxicity assessment • Natural remedies reference SAFETY CHECKS AS YOU WORK Build a case and FormuVet flags interactions live — a second NSAID, an NSAID alongside a corticosteroid, or a drug contraindicated in the species you have in front of you. Warnings surface before the drug goes on the plan, not after. PATIENT RECORDS Keep patient files on your device, add medications and diagnostics, and export a clean, readable patient summary as a PDF you can print or share with an owner or a referral practice. WORKS THE WAY YOU DO Dictate patient details instead of typing. Count tablets with your camera. Switch between metric and imperial. Your custom drugs, protocols and home screen layout sync across your devices. — FormuVet is intended for use by qualified veterinary professionals. It is a decision-support and reference tool only. It is not a substitute for professional veterinary judgment, clinical examination or diagnosis, and it does not establish a veterinarian-client-patient relationship. All outputs must be independently verified against the full clinical picture before use. — SUBSCRIPTION FormuVet Pro unlocks the full formulary, protocols, calculators and case tools. • Monthly — [PRICE], with a 7-day free trial • Annual — [PRICE], billed yearly Subscriptions renew automatically at the listed price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your device's subscription settings. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pocket Pathologist at none against FormuVet's 2. FormuVet's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
