Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Plumb’s and Standards?

Plumb’s is a trusted drug reference. Standards is a complete clinical decision support tool—with Plumb’s built in. Standards includes expert-written diagnostic and treatment guidance, step-by-step algorithms and peer-reviewed DDx lists, shareable pet owner handouts for conditions and medications, and seamless access to Plumb’s—including the first-of-its-kind drug interaction checker. If you’re just looking for a veterinary drug reference, Plumb’s is available as a standalone subscription. But if you want a full clinical decision support tool, including diagnostic, treatment, and prescribing guidance, Standards is the better fit.

Is the app free?

Yes, the Plumb’s | Standards™ app is free to download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store—but you’ll need an active subscription to log in and access the content.

Can I get the graduate discount if I’ve already purchased a subscription?

Yes! You can apply the discount against your next renewal or leverage it immediately for an upgrade. For example, if you’re subscribed to Plumb’s, you can upgrade to Standards at the graduate rate. This will apply any unused service term from your Plumb’s subscription as a credit toward your upgrade, and you’ll immediately get access to Standards features.

How long does the discount last?

If you subscribe to Standards at the exclusive graduate rate, your discount will apply for the initial purchase. After 12 months, your subscription will automatically renew at the full rate. You can turn off automatic renewal on your Subscription Details page at any time before your renewal date to avoid being charged.
