At Dr+Vet by Andersen, we listen to veterinarians and evolve to meet their needs.

We are pleased to announce the launch of Lacrimalis+XL, a formulation specially designed for medium and large breed dogs.

This launch responds to requests from pet owners and ophthalmologists to provide a more convenient and economical solution for these dogs. Maria Simó, veterinary ophthalmologist at the Instituto Veterinario Oftalmológico (IVO), during the April 2024 webinar, already raised the need for a version with a higher concentration of ingredients for larger dogs.

What is Lacrimalis+XL?

Lacrimalis+XL is the larger version of our renowned nutritional supplement Lacrimalis+, developed specifically for dogs weighing 20 kg and above. This new 2-gram tablet contains twice as many active ingredients, optimizing its use and effectiveness for pets with higher requirements.

Using Lacrimalis+ in cases of Keratoconjunctivitis sicca

Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is a common pathology that affects the eye health of our pets, especially dogs. The formulation of Lacrimalis+XL includes a combination of:

Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA): They improve the lipid quality of the tear, reducing its evaporation and providing anti-inflammatory properties.
Lactoferrin: A protein naturally present in the tear and which is deficient in many people affected by dry eye.
Vitamins C and E: They help combat oxidative stress on the ocular surface.
Minerals such as zinc and copper: They reinforce the antioxidant action and contribute to the general health of the eye.

With Lacrimalis+XL, we offer a solution adapted to the needs of larger dogs, guaranteeing the same quality and effectiveness that characterizes all our products.

Following the path started by RetinaeXL

Lacrimalis+XL is not our only advance in specific formulations. Previously, we developed RetinaeXL for retinopathies in large dogs, adjusting to the demands of veterinarians who were looking for an efficient solution for their larger patients.

Our commitment to improvement

The creation of products such as Lacrimalis+XL and RetinaeXL is mainly due to the feedback that professionals like María Simó give us. Participation in events such as webinars and conferences such as SEOVET or AVEPA allow us to learn about the needs of veterinarians and guardians and work together to improve our products.

Lacrimalis+XL is now available and you will soon find it in veterinary clinics and through StorePetcare.com (Only in Spain), our platform designed to facilitate the purchase and distribution of our products.

Following these engaging lectures, Ingo Hoffmann will provide expertise on a range of ophthalmic issues:

His presentation on ophthalmic ultrasound will explore how advanced diagnostic imaging can enhance the understanding of various eye conditions.
Hoffmann’s talk on lid tumors in dogs and cats will focus on identifying and managing these common yet potentially harmful growths.
He will also dive into major retinal diseases in dogs, explaining how to diagnose and treat conditions that threaten vision in pets.

This full day of lectures promises to be both enriching and informative, with time for networking during coffee breaks and lunch.

Dr+Vet’s Role at EESVO

At the EESVO, we will present Dr+Vet’s innovative ophthalmology products, specifically designed to support veterinarians in their clinical practice. Our collaboration with Biowet allows us to reach the Polish market with cutting-edge nutraceuticals that target various eye conditions, from dry eye to retinal diseases.

Networking and Learning

EESVO is a unique opportunity for us to engage with veterinary ophthalmologists and introduce them to Dr+Vet’s solutions for eye care. We invite all attendees to visit our stand, where we’ll be distributing samples and discussing how our products, including Glauco+, Retinae, and Occulus+, can benefit their patients.

Veterinary ophthalmology is a complex and constantly evolving field, where research, innovation and collaboration are key to advancing pet eye care.

As passionate as we are about animal welfare and eye health, we are proud to announce our participation as sponsors of the 2024 European Congress of the European Association of Veterinary Ophthalmology (ECVO). This annual event is the epicenter of veterinary ophthalmology in Europe, bringing together the best specialists, researchers and practitioners in the field to share knowledge, present scientific advances and make meaningful connections.

Each year, ECVO hosts its annual congress in a major European city, providing a unique platform for the exchange of ideas, discussion of clinical cases and continuous learning. Over four intense days, the congress covers a wide range of topics related to veterinary ophthalmology, from the presentation of pioneering research to the discussion of innovative surgical techniques.

The 2024 program

The 2024 European Association of Veterinary Ophthalmology (ECVO) Congress promises to be exceptional, with a special focus on exotic animal ophthalmology. Under the theme “Ophthalmology of Exotic Animals,” the continuing education program and master class will explore the anatomical and physiological peculiarities of the eyes of reptiles, birds, rabbits and other exotic animals. Experts from Europe and the United States will share their knowledge on ophthalmological examination, husbandry and handling techniques of these animals. In addition, clinical cases, scientific research and advances in the field will be presented, providing a unique opportunity to learn from leaders in veterinary ophthalmology.

Our Participation in ECVO 2024

As leaders in the field of ophthalmic nutraceuticals, we at Dr+Vet are committed to the advancement of veterinary ophthalmology and the ocular care of our pets. During the congress, we will have the opportunity to present our latest advances in ophthalmological products, share our expertise and establish connections with other professionals in the industry. It is also a good opportunity to get a closer look at our products and we will be happy to introduce you to our range and discuss how they can benefit your patients!

We can now announce the new presentation of Retinae!

Retinae, our innovative nutraceutical product designed to be used as an adjuvant in the treatment of retinopathies, now comes in a new presentation: RetinaeXL!

What is RetinaeXL?

We have listened to the comments of many veterinarians, who told us that the usual presentation “was too small” for dogs of 30 or 40kg. So we set to work to formulate and create RetinaeXL. Its formula with twice the concentration of Retinae is specially designed for large and giant breed dogs.

How does RetinaeXL work?

Like standard Retinae, RetinaeXL is formulated with a combination of carotenoids, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and lactoferrin, all of which are known to have beneficial effects on eye health. However, RetinaeXL’s improved formula allows for more convenient and economical dosing for larger dogs.

The dosage of RetinaeXL is specifically adapted to larger dogs. It is recommended to administer one tablet of RetinaeXL per 20 kg body weight of the dog. This improved dosing facilitates handling and ensures accurate administration of the product, resulting in greater convenience and efficacy for caregivers and their pets.

The benefits of RetinaeXL:

Convenient and economical dosing: Dosing tailored to larger dogs makes handling easier and reduces costs associated with treatment, providing a more economical and efficient option for caregivers.
Same quality and safety: RetinaeXL maintains the high quality and safety standards that have made Retinae a trusted choice for pet eye care.

Where to get RetinaeXL?

RetinaeXL will be available from June at different distributors and veterinary clinics.

On Wednesday 3rd April, Dr+Vet was honoured to welcome leading veterinary ophthalmologist Maria Simó for our first webinar on Keratoconjunctivitis Seca (KCS) in dogs. During this virtual event, María Simó shared her knowledge and experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this common but often underestimated eye disease. Today, we can finally announce that the full video, with subtitles in English (and other languages automatically), is available for viewing on our blog and our YouTube channel! Attached to this article, you will find the direct link to the video so you can access it and deepen the knowledge shared by María Simó.

About Maria Simó:

Maria Simó is a renowned veterinary ophthalmologist with a solid background and extensive experience in the field of veterinary ophthalmology. Graduated in Veterinary Medicine from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, María has completed several postgraduate courses and works as an ophthalmologist at the prestigious Instituto Veterinario Oftalmológico (IVO) in Barcelona.

Contenido del Webinar:

Maria Simó talked us through the basics of Keratoconjunctivitis Seca, from diagnostic methods to the most effective treatment options, exploring in detail how to approach this disease in a comprehensive way.

One of the main conclusions of the webinar was the importance of not relying solely on the Schirmer test to diagnose KCS. María Simó emphasised the need for a complete and detailed assessment, as well as the use of additional diagnostic tools for a correct diagnosis, as without all the information, ineffective treatments may be prescribed. She also talked about the importance of referring cases that do not resolve correctly in order to fully evaluate them.

We thank all participants for their support.

The webinar on Keratoconjunctivitis Seca with Maria Simó was a great success, and we would like to thank everyone who joined us for this educational event. We hope that this resource will be a valuable source of information for all veterinarians interested in veterinary ophthalmology. Feel free to check out the full video and share it with your colleagues.
