Dechra Dog & Cat Anaesthesia App: Smarter Anaesthesia Support for Veterinary Clinics in Dubai and the UAE
Providing safe, tailored anaesthesia for every patient is one of the most important aspects of modern veterinary medicine. From routine procedures to more medically complex cases, veterinary professionals must make confident decisions around sedation, analgesia, induction, monitoring and recovery.
To support veterinary teams in daily practice, Dechra has developed the Dog & Cat Anaesthesia App - a practical educational resource designed specifically for veterinarians, veterinary nurses, technicians and veterinary students.
Available to veterinary professionals in Dubai, the UAE and internationally, the App helps make practical anaesthesia information more accessible in both general practice and referral settings.
Practical Anaesthesia Protocols for Dogs and Cats
Developed in collaboration with specialist veterinary anaesthetists and approved by the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists (AVA), the Dechra Dog & Cat Anaesthesia App contains practical, evidence-based guidance designed to support safer anaesthesia planning.
The App includes suggested anaesthetic protocols for a wide range of canine and feline procedures, helping veterinary professionals approach both routine and less familiar cases with greater confidence.
Each protocol includes guidance on:
- Pre-operative patient considerations
- Stabilisation recommendations where required
- Premedication options
- Peri-operative analgesia
- Anaesthetic induction and maintenance
- Monitoring recommendations
- Recovery management
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach, the App supports patient-specific anaesthesia planning for dogs and cats.
Detailed Molecule Information for Veterinary Practice
The App also includes detailed information on commonly used anaesthetic and analgesic molecules in small animal veterinary medicine.
Veterinary professionals can quickly access:
- Suggested dosage guidance
- Routes of administration
- Indications for use
- Onset and duration of action
- Contraindications
- Side effect considerations
This makes the App a valuable educational and clinical reference tool for veterinary clinics in Dubai and across the UAE.
Built for Everyday Veterinary Workflow
Alongside protocol guidance, the Dechra Dog & Cat Anaesthesia App includes practical tools designed to support busy veterinary teams.
Features include:
- Dose calculation support
- Custom protocol creation
- Favourite protocol saving
- Printable or emailable protocol summaries for patient records
These functions help improve workflow efficiency while supporting consistency in anaesthesia planning and clinical documentation.
