HORSE FLY & TICK CONTROL Your guide to some of the best products on the market


Well here it is, the much anticipated launch issue of Veterinary Supplies Magazine (VSM).


Many veterinary surgeons in the UK will


have already spoken to one or other of the VSM team over the last few months as we undertook the research necessary to ensure that the magazine and web-site we provide caters for your requirements. We have also quite obviously spoken


to countless suppliers to the UK veterinary sector, and once again this has been in order to ensure that VSM is fi t for purpose, and fi lls a gap in the sector.


The months of consultation led to the


magazine that you have in your hands. Along with its sister website at www. vetsuppliesmag.com, VSM provides details of new products and services available to UK veterinary surgeons. VSM does not intend to replace existing and in some instances august publications in the sector, but rather compliment what they do. VSM is all about placing in front of the


UK’s veterinary professionals everything that they need to know about the products and services that they need to ensure optimal patient care, and effi cient running surgeries


and operating theatres. Each issue of the magazine features the best of the newest products, medicines, and services that veterinary professionals need to purchase to provide optimal service and care. The website www.vetsuppliesmag.com is constantly updated with information of relevance to the sector as well, which means that between the two vehicles, UK veterinary professionals have all the information at their fi nger tips on the products, services, and medicines to source. The UK veterinary sector told us that


VSM was the magazine that they needed. So here it is, and we thank you for all your help, and look forward to your feedback so that we keep the products working for the best of the UK veterinary sector. We would also like to thank the organisers of the London Vet Show, who allowed us unparalleled access to the event as we compiled information on the latest product and service announcements of the sector towards the end of 2012.
