VIN is the veterinary profession's premiere online resource, providing veterinarians with the information and tools they need to address the demands of modern veterinary practice. VIN - for veterinarians, by veterinarians - unites more than 19,000 veterinarians, veterinary students and veterinary industry partners in a truly interactive worldwide online community.

Imagine trying to stay current in veterinary medicine by reading books and magazines. Veterinary medicine is changing so fast today that much of what they contain is out-of-date by the time it gets to you. Although that's the way that things used to be done, from the point-of-view of a sick pet it's clearly not the best way. There's too great a chance that the proper information wouldn't be read, or, if it was read, wouldn't be able to be found if more details were needed a month or a year later.

The Veterinary Information Network (VIN) changed the way that progressive veterinarians stay current. It gave them a tool that literally changed the face of veterinary information. Today, a veterinarian who uses VIN often hears about new drugs, equipment, treatment techniques, etc. even before the book or journal is written. In fact, it's not uncommon for a VIN-connected general practitioner to find out about new developments in the field even before specialists who rely on printed matter.

VIN also provides access to the hard-earned skills of over 100 veterinary specialists. They are available for consultation online. This is especially important in rural areas like this were specialists are a several hour drive away.

Dr. Flaig spends many hours a week reading the latest information on VIN. He is looking for ways that we can improve our service to your pets. He can ask the specialists for their advice on any complicated cases that we see. This again is a service that we provide to our clients for no charge.
