Great Care. Delivered. You'll love it 'cause they'll lick it.

It's a different "twist" on orag-gel applications.
Twist-a-Taste oral gel applicators contain medicated oral gels, flavored to
suit smaller patients. Now you can give your patients the medications they need
and treat them to great tastes like natural chicken and fish or yummy fruity
flavors like banana and tropical punch. With just two steps, a no-mess
applicator, and no tiny markings to read, you can rest assured that patients
will receive the precise amount of the compounded medications you prescribe.
No guessing, no messing.
For you and your clients, there's no more mess or guessing about the proper
dosage. Just two "twists" of the pen dispenses 0.05ml of the compounded
medication you prescribed. It's easy to dispense an oral gel directly into an
animal's mouth, place it on a morsel of food, or place it on the paw of
self-grooming animals such as cats and small laboratory-animals. When an oral
gel is the best solution, the Twist-a-Taste oral gel applicator can help to
assure that the medicine goes down. We applied this exclusive dispensing
technology to oral gels for uses like these:
- Dispense a tasty dose onto the paws of self-grooming animals such as
rats and mice.
- Put it on a cracker when Polly needs her medicine.
- Put it on a favorite kind of fruit or lettuce for exotic animals like
lizards and turtles.
- Mix it with baby food or apple sauce for animals who won't take a gel
orally.
Our exclusive Twist-a-Taste technology is simple, easy, convenient, and is
another tool for veterinarians and pet owners to help make sure that pets
take the medicine that the doctor prescribes. Need another unique solution? Take

We care about the high cost of non-compliance.
An animal's compliance with medication regimes is not a joke when compliance makes the difference between good health and illness. An animal's health, of course, is tied to compliance.
These facts from recent research may surprise you:
- The rate of compliance for chronic medication is just 76%. That means an astounding 24% of pets aren’t being treated with the medications they need to live healthy lives—and
in some cases, simply to live;
- Pet owners who are shown one or more ways to administer medication had
a significantly higher rate of compliance (73% vs. 59% for those not
shown). Yet, only 43% of practices show pet owners how to administer
medication;
- 60% of owners would pay more for medication that is palatable or easy
to administer;
- 93% of veterinarians say that compliance monitoring has a positive
impact on their practice;
- 72% of pet owners would like to receive information in writing about their pets’ medication so they could refer back to it.
Here are eight ways to make non-compliance a non-issue.
- Give pet owners information about the dangers of non-compliance.
- Give pet owners simple, detailed instructions and easy administration techniques.
- Prescribe medications that taste good.
- Prescribe medications that are small and easy to administer.
- Prescribe medications that are more affordable, when possible.
- Provide automated refill reminders.
- Make it easier, safer and more convenient for pet owners to get the medications they need.
- Increase communication and follow-up with pet owners.
