Here's our regular rundown of new and notable veterinary products.
Animal Science Labs formulated this scent spray to relieve cat anxiety by using the cat owner’s natural scent. Kitty Comfort Spray combines a cat owner’s scent molecules in a highly concentrated formula with therapeutic-grade essential oils, including lavender, geranium, and roman chamomile. The spray is all natural and plant based.
With an N95 air filter option, the Good Air Team K9 Mask dog air filter offers a new way to protect working dogs from opioid inhalation when assisting police officers in drug raids.
PetSafe’s Multi-Cat Litter Box is extra large in size and was created for multicat families to provide ample space for felines to share. It simplifies cleaning with tall sides to ensure litter remains inside the box while the heavy-duty metal scoop conveniently scoops waste. The covered waste bin also has individual, removable compartments for the litter scoop and waste for organization adjacent to the box. Magnets underneath the waste bin lid keep it closed until it’s time to scoop.
Shepherd Veterinary Software created a pet portal that provides clients with the ability to request appointments and prescription refills online. This new tool aims to help relieve front-desk stress. The veterinary team can respond to each request, quickly add the appointment to their schedule, and inform the client. Clients can also access their pet’s prescription history and check the number of refills remaining.
These 2 safe, all-natural antipest products effectively kill fleas, ticks, and other insects on contact. Both the Pet Wellness Direct Protect Dog Shampoo and Protect Home + Dog Spray are made of plant-based ingredients, containing cedar oil, rosemary oil, lemongrass oil, coconut oil, and aloe. They do not include any harsh soaps or detergents and are safe for use on pets, furniture, carpets, and bedding throughout the year.
Whistle Health is a data-driven artificial intelligence–enabled device that translates dogs’ every movement into a personalized and holistic wellness index. It uses trillions of clinical insights and data points to track health behaviors such as drinking, eating, scratching, sleeping, licking, fitness, and activity. When Whistle Health is coupled with the Whistle app, the device can detect and alert pet parents of any potential health issues (eg, excessive scratching or changes in eating). Pet parents can then be connected to a veterinarian through Whistle’s Ask a Vet service.
