The mobile app offers: Thousands of topics written by more than 400 veterinary experts from more than 20 countries Thousands of photos, illustrations, and videos of disorders and diseases Clinical calculators Numerous reference guides and hundreds of useful tables All of this material resides on the device so accessing it does not use data, and after installation an internet connection is not needed. Download the app for Apple devices at the App Store; for Android devices, at Google Play.
