Vets First Choice provides veterinarians and their clients access to a complete range of medications, therapeutic diets, supplements, and over-the-counter products for companion and equine practitioners. Its services result in better prescription compliance, increased client engagement, and improved practice revenues and profitability. The VFC partnership augments Flair’s ability to strengthen its relationship with veterinarians on an expanded level.     

Because of their numerous scientifically proven benefits - EIPH attenuation among them - veterinarians, horsemen & competitors - of all disciplines - include FLAIR Strips as part of an overall equine health management program.

“The application of nasal Strips has been shown to reduce the severity of EIPH and it is unclear as to why more horses don’t wear them when racing and breezing”, said Warwick M. Bayly BVSc, MS, PhD, Dip ACVIM, when presenting to the South African Equine Veterinary Association Congress in February 2018.

“Flair is delighted to be partnering with Vets First Choice”, said Flair President, Jim Chiapetta DVM JD. “We look forward to working together with Vets First Choice to enhance our veterinary engagement.”
