Isoxazolines are anti-parasitics that inhibit chloride channels in the nervous systems of invertebrates. This paralyzes and kills parasites by blocking the transmission of neuronal signals.
Isoxazolines are more selective to fleas, ticks, and mites than to mammals, including humans, dogs and cats. It has been a game changer for our flea allergic pets and treating mange cases.
Learn some of the specific differences of these products on this week's episode of The Derm Vet podcast!

Localized vs. Generalized
Juvenile-onset vs. Adult-onset

I welcome back Dr. Galia Scheinberg on the podcast this week! Dr. Scheinberg has a lot of experience using the Vetbiotek products which contains MicroSilver. How is this ingredient compared to other silver containing products?
Microsilver has a larger surface area, allowing for more positive ions to be released and for longer periods of time. Also, microsilver clings to the fur and skin, for prolonged contact without any systemic absorption.

Wounds can be tough, but there is a new product to help with that. KeraVet Gel is a hydrogel wound dressing intended to act as a protective covering for partial thickness wounds. It is the first veterinary product to include keratin as an ingredient based on human-grade products. Additionally, it contains the most bitter lick deterrent available on the market to discourage pets from traumatizing the area. Wouldn't it be great to get rid of E-collars?
Today, we welcome Cherice Roth, DVM (lead medical advisor for KeraVet bio) to discuss the benefits of this product for dogs and cats. Also, how to best implement it into your daily clinical practice. -
