ORALLY ADMINISTERED SEDATIVE AVAILABLE FOR USE BY HORSE OWNERS

Dormosedan Gel is an easily administered oral sedative available for horse owners. It is an easy-to-use option for needle-shy horses and any horse owner who is uncomfortable giving an injection. It’s administered from a single-dose syringe underneath the tongue, so dosing is simplified and there’s no hassle with needles. Not only is it a safe alternative to physical restraint, it’s more effective and more predictable than other methods. It delivers consistent results for your horse each time it’s used.

Visit the Pfizer Animal Health website below for more information and an instructional video on the safe use of this highly effective, oral sedative. This product is available for our clients by calling our office at 805.344.2212.

Beginning this year, in cooperation with Global Vet Link, we are now offering electronically generated interstate travel documents which can be accessed and downloaded from your home computer via the web.

No more last minute dashes to the clinic or expensive Fed Ex shipping of important documents!

Photographs of your horse are obtained at the time of examination or at the time of blood draw in the case of EIA (Coggins) testing. These photos will remain in our files for future certificates. Results will be available for instant printing from your home computer, usually within one or two working days after submission.

For a general overview go to Global Vet Link . For step-by-step instructions on how to sign up for your own account and print your completed certificates go to MyVetLink.com.

Happy trails.
