I've used several drug references and have settled on two for daily use. First is Saunders for its coverage of the drugs I use, including off-label use of human drugs, without a lot of extraneous details. The problem with Plumb's is that it contains every anecdotal usage ever written up. This makes for a very bulky reference. Unless you have a copy that's been well-tabbed with post-it notes and the useful doses highlighted, Plumb's is more weight than it's worth for me. The other is The North American Companion Animal Formulary. It's condensed, fits into my jacket pocket, and has an excellent index of trade names to generic names as well as a quick index of applicable drugs for a number of conditions.

Great Drug Cross Reference book......I use it all the time to better explain to clients side effects and what to expect.

I am a veterinary student and this book is a great reference for pharmacology class...definitely better than the one that schools typically recommend. Any also way cheaper!

Great book. I've used the first edition, and the second edition is just as good. I love the web access with the client handouts. It makes some explanations to clients much easier. The information in the book is accurate, concise, and straight forward. Would recommend this book for everyone from a veterinary student to a seasoned veterinarian.
