Client Information Leaflets: Medicines
About: Veterinary surgeons should provide information to their clients about the safe use of the drugs that they prescribe and dispense for the patients under their care. For drugs authorized for use in dogs and/or cats this information is usually supplied to veterinary surgeons by the pharmaceutical company and this should then be passed on to clients. For drugs that are not authorized for the particular use in the particular species there is still a responsibility to provide information, but the leaflets provided with these drugs may not be adequate (e.g. they may have been written for the treatment of human patients or for the treatment of a different condition). BSAVA has therefore developed a series of leaflets that can be used to help practitioners fulfil their obligations. You can download individual leaflets as required, or the full set as a zipped file.
How to access: These client information leaflets are provided to BSAVA members as part of their member benefits and are also available for non-members to purchase as part of the Formulary Plus subscription or the client leaflet subscription. Please note that these leaflets are intended for use as part of a veterinary consultation. They should not be made available on public pages of your practice website. Leaflets are updated periodically so please check you are using the latest versions.
Formats: Leaflets are provided in PDF format and also as TinyURL links and QR codes that give clients direct access to the leaflet.
Latest update: April 2026 (all existing leaflets revised, and 12 new leaflets added). Zip folders also updated.

BSAVA Small Animal Formulary Part A: Canine and Feline
The BSAVA Small Animal Formulary remains one of the most trusted and widely used resources in small animal practice, helping clinicians make safe, evidence-based decisions every day. This Part A 12th edition covering cats and dogs continues to evolve with veterinary medicine. It includes new monographs on drugs such as citalopram, enflicoxib, ilunocitinib and venlafaxine, reflecting the expanding range of therapeutic options available to our patients. The addition of new appendices – including a seizure algorithm, detailed guidance on supplements and nutraceuticals, and expanded information on contrast agents – enhances its practical value in daily case management. The Formulary continues to embody what the BSAVA stands for – scientific rigour, clinical relevance, and a commitment to improving animal welfare.

BSAVA Small Animal Formulary Part B: Exotic Pets
The 12th edition of the BSAVA Small Animal Formulary: Exotic Pets continues to set the standard for responsible prescribing in the growing and diverse field of exotic animal medicine. The clinical management of these species remains both rewarding and challenging. Veterinary practitioners are faced with a diverse range of taxa, each with distinct anatomical, physiological and metabolic characteristics. Although knowledge continues to grow rapidly, there remains a shortage of robust pharmacological studies and controlled clinical trials for many drugs used in exotic pet medicine. This edition introduces new monographs, including afoxolaner, atorvastatin, and danofloxacin, broadening the therapeutic scope for an ever-wider range of species. A new appendix on barium contrast media and the addition of emergency doses on the inside front cover provide valuable quick-reference support for clinicians in urgent situations. Another key feature is new client information leaflets covering routes of administration — inhalational, injectable, oral, topical ear, and topical eye — helping practitioners communicate clearly with owners and ensure safe home care for these unique patients. This new edition will be an indispensable guide in your day-to-day work with exotic species.
