This app will help the companion animal clinician reach the correct diagnosis, institute the correct treatment and communicate the correct information with their client. It has been developed by a companion animal vet with over 20 years of clinical experience, with membership in the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Small Animal Medicine, and an examiner for this College at that level. The information will be updated regularly and new diseases added with time. There are conditions which the author has purposefully not included (eg tick-borne diseases, due to geographical location), which can be researched and added if there is a demand for this information at a later time

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Vet Correct at Free against Veterinary Handbook's $1.99. Vet Correct also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 9 months). Veterinary Handbook's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
