This Sunday, Dr+Vet will proudly participate in the EESVO Congress 2024 in Warsaw, Poland, in collaboration with our local partner, Biowet.

The Eastern European Society of Veterinary Ophthalmology (EESVO) brings together some of the most respected names in veterinary ophthalmology, making it a key event for professionals looking to deepen their knowledge in eye care for animals.

The EESVO 2024 conference offers an excellent lineup of expert speakers who will cover a variety of critical topics. Attendees will be able to learn from Lionel Sebbag and Ingo Hoffmann, both leading voices in the field.

Lionel Sebbag will kick off with a lecture on glaucoma titled “Glaucoma – When the Pressure is Too High to Bear.” This session will offer deep insights into managing elevated intraocular pressure, a significant concern in both canine and feline ophthalmology.
Later, Sebbag will discuss innovative treatments for dry eye disease and corneal ulcers using cross-linked hyaluronic acid.

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.

See you in Warsaw, and let’s continue advancing veterinary ophthalmology together!

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.

Iberzoo+Propet 2024, the international event for pet professionals, organized by IFEMA Madrid and promoted by the Madrid Association of Companion Animal Veterinarians (AMVAC) and the Spanish Association of Industry and Commerce of the Companion Animal Sector (Aedpac), closed its 9th edition last week. This event, a point of reference for pet professionals, brought together more than 220 nutrition, medicine and veterinary technology companies on March 13, 14 and 15, who exhibited their latest innovations and products, and thousands of veterinarians interested in the presentations and news of the sector.

The fair offered a full program of activities with various congresses and spaces, such as the Veterinary Classroom, the Aquariophilia activities, the Canine Styling Stage, the VI AEDPAC Forum, the VetMadrid Congress, the Artero Conference and the Sector Afternoon, where knowledge was shared and innovations and services designed for professionals in the sector were presented. A preview of the Sector Data Report of the Madrid Association of Companion Animal Veterinarians (AMVAC) was also presented.

Our stand at Iberzoo AMVAC Propet became a meeting point for veterinary professionals and other professionals in the sector, where we shared technical and relevant information about our products. The presentation of RetinaeXL was very well received by visitors, who showed great interest in this new nutraceutical presentation for retinal problems in large dogs.

In summary, Dr+Vet’s participation in Iberzoo AMVAC Propet 2024 was a rewarding and enriching experience. We are excited to continue advancing canine vision care with the launch of RetinaeXL and to continue collaborating with the veterinary community to improve the quality of life of our beloved pets.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you that Maria Simó from the Ophthalmological Institute of Barcelona (IVO) will be the speaker of our first online webinar: April 3rd at 13:00h (Spain). You can register here.

Thanks to everyone who made this event possible and we hope to see you again in future editions of Iberzoo AMVAC Propet!

This event brings together thousands of professionals from the sector each year.

For the second consecutive year, Dr+Vet sponsors the Iberzoo-Propet AMVAC 2024 congress, the largest event on products and services related to pets, which will take place in Madrid from March 13 to 15.

During these days we will have the opportunity to connect with professionals from across the veterinary sector and share our latest innovations in veterinary nutraceuticals.

During this congress we will present a novelty in our ophthalmological range: RetinaeXL. The Retinae product has been part of the Dr+Vet catalog since its inception and now receives a new presentation adapted to larger breeds that suffer from hereditary idiopathic retinal degeneration.

Retinae XL: retina protection for XL dogs

The novelty of this congress is RetinaeXL. This product maintains the same formulation as Retinae but adapts its quantities to larger breeds, its recommended mode of use being 1 tablet per day for every 20kg (unlike Retinae which corresponds to 1 tablet per day for every 10kg).

Both Retinae and RetinaeXL provide nutrients to the retina, especially interesting in those breeds predisposed to retinopathies. Its main ingredients are Tagetes erecta (source of lutein and zeaxanthin) and omega 3 fatty acids that provide anti-inflammatory and antiangiogenic properties. These products also provide pets with Vitamins (C, E, B [B6, B9, B12]), Lactoferrin, Zinc and Copper.

Other product lines

In addition to our ophthalmological line, we will also be providing detailed information about our digestive and metabolic ranges, with the products Glyco, Flavum, Digestum and Colitum.

Iberzoo-Propet serves as a platform to interact with professional colleagues and showcase our commitment to innovative veterinary care. Our team will be available to provide detailed information and answer any questions you may have about our products.

Stay tuned for updates and follow us on social media for more details as the event approaches. See you there!
