Last night, I read through the chapters in section 1. I have to say that I think that each chapter is going to be hit or miss with me.
For example, the chapter called “Chemistry and Constraints: How We Choose Our Dogs” wasn’t that enlightening. Jean even admits that there isn’t a lot of research about how we choose our dogs, and she confesses, “So, using a wholly rigorous approach — mulling it over in the shower and chatting with some dog friends — I have generated the following list of dog choice factors.” At least she’s honest, but in a book that throws Pavlov, Premack, and Pinker in the title, I figured the conclusions would be based more in research than mulling it over.
On the other hand, I really enjoyed the chapter called “Observation vs Interpretation.” She contrasts the behaviorism school of thought versus other interpreters, and I’m pretty sure she’s implying folks like Caesar Millan in the later case. It’s pretty clear from the subtext that she doesn’t like the whole “the dog is displaying his dominance” school of thought.
In the end, I think I’ll end up marking the chapters that are worth reading, and then taking the bibliography in the back and doing some further reading. This book is almost like a series of blog posts strung together, and although that’s not really what I look for in a book, it’s probably a good starting point for learning more about what we really know about animal behavior science.

- Dolitl, Easy to Use Large Animal Practice Management Software
Dolitl is a Large Animal Practice Management Software that lives on a server. It brings traditionally separate systems such as cattle tracing, milk recording and drug supplier ordering under one system accessible over the Internet. It ensures records and documents from mobile laptops and other sites are available to all authorized employees and usable offline when no Internet connection is available.
Dolitl built with web technologies. It is not a “web-enabled” application – it is a website. However, it runs like an Intranet (a private version of the Internet), a website that comes from a central server available only to the company where it resides. It also allows restricted outside access so that it can be used in the field by employees.
The software’s Server is simple to install and easy to maintain as it’s all in one place. It can be accessed by computers connected directly to that server; these are called “local” users. If the server is connected to the Internet, dolitl can also be accessed by offsite “remote” users – as long as they have a connection to the Internet. Dolitl highly compatible with peripheral devices and means that there is no need for any server configuration to use scanners, printers and other external devices.
The web application is built with ASP.NET, which is the code that delivers web pages to your browser. Other communication service technologies are used to provide a faster web experience in addition to enabling easy integration with other systems, such those run by the wholesale drug suppliers. The entire application runs using the latest version of the Microsoft .NET Framework, which takes care of memory management and transactions providing a stable and safe environment for the application to execute in.
Dolitl is connected to the Internet, and so any other computer also connected will be capable of using it. This makes getting to work as easy as getting online from any equipment running a suitable web browser. File replication is a necessity, and Amazon S3 provides a simple facility to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. And Dolitl has it!! Dolitl uses this capacity to copy files between sites so that you will have access to them all, again ensuring they are not kept in one place.
Being on the web, dolitl can be used by just about any device capable of using the Internet. From the home desktop, laptop or smart phone – anything with a web browser can potentially be used to view the system. Any changes can be viewed immediately by everyone at the same branch, and after a short delay, at all branches.
The license gives you the right to use dolitl for the subscription period. The fee is determined by the number of carers and dolitl site installations. Carers are “employees who generate revenue because of the functionality of dolitl” (typically vets, clinicians and nurses) but not back office administration staff or receptionists as they are granted a free license. A web license allows the practice to have a public website that integrates with dolitl. This means customers can login, view their account and settle invoices. The website also enables the practice to sell items online. Click here to learn more how will the cost of dolitl be calculated.
You are welcome to try out a demo version of the dolitl application. The demonstration uses an imaginary veterinary practice called Seriously Large Animal Veterinary Centre. Try the demo version here. Request username and password here. To receive a copy of Dolitl newsletter, ask questions, or give suggestions on features you would like to see please use the form on this page.
The dolitl name comes from a contemporary take on Dr John Dolittle, the familiar character created by Hugh Lofting.

- Veterinary Pharmacy Reference Software, Fast, Friendly and Efficient
The veterinary industry faces a more informed, more demanding client than ever before. Pet owners are willing to spend more than ever before and expect the same level of service and care that is given by human doctors and pharmacists. Currently drug companies and veterinary practices face countless lawsuits regarding side effects, interactions, and lack of informed consent. Veterinarians have found that the VPR program has dramatically changed the way they are able to do their jobs, saving them and their staff time and money. Client are more informed and excited about the improved service they are receiving.
Better communication between veterinarian and client is vital. On the human side, the physician has a pharmacist to help dispense that kind of information. Veterinarians don’t have a pharmacist to help and by the nature of their practice, they are busy, so it’s more difficult to sit and explain every possible side effect to clients. And then, the third party you need is VPR (Veterinary Pharmacy Reference).
VPR has been an essential tool for veterinarians for years. Now it is integrated with Impromed Infinity. The drug information is available right from the Infinity Patient Processing module or from a button on the Infinity toolbar. When the medications in VPR directly linked to Infinity product database so that when a drug is added to an invoice, the prescribing information for that Drug, Strength, and Species is already highlighted.
Inside The VPR:
Interactive Drug Search
Client info, sheets with patient specific prescription info
Printable Drug Information
Anesthesia Consent Forms
Interactive Anti-parasitic Charts
Dosage calculator
Drug interaction matrix with med washout period monitoring
weight measurement and temperature conversion charts
The current version of VPR is VPR 2.8 build 1. In the newest version of VPR a Dosage & Available Forms section has been added to the Calculator. VPR must be installed on every machine that will be running the program. However the Client/Patient information and history can be shared over a network.
VPR will run on most Windows machines currently in use. However, recommended specifications would be at least a 300MHZ processor with 32 mg of memory, and approximately 100mg of free hard drive space.
The database updates come every six months to update VPR with the latest drugs and updated dosing information. If you have any problems VPR support is fast, friendly, & efficient. Order Now
