Dechra has launched a Cushing’s treatment and monitoring app to support owners prescribed Vetoryl for their dog.

The free app is designed to help to track changes and improvements in a dog’s health during treatment. 

The app uses questionnaires to monitor clinical signs and quality of life and includes reminders for when checkups with routine blood tests should be carried out, which Dechra says are recommended at 10 days, 4 weeks, 12 weeks and every 3 months thereafter. 

The app also sends pet owners daily reminders to administer medication to their dog. 

Sarah Musgrave, companion animal brand manager at Dechra, said: “Continuous and consistent monitoring is key to finding the right Vetoryl dose for a dog with Cushing’s and restoring its health. 

"The new Cushing’s syndrome treatment and monitoring app is a useful tool to help owners quickly and easily record and track any medical and lifestyle changes in dogs being treated with Vetoryl, which can then be shared with their vet during check-ups.”

To download the app, search for 'Cushing's monitoring' on either Apple's App Store or the Google Play Store.
