Tube feeding is one of the most decisive interventions in small animal medicine. The right feeding tube — placed correctly and used safely — can keep an orphan kitten alive through its first ten days, pull a cat back from hepatic lipidosis, and shorten recovery after major surgery. The wrong tube can cause aspiration pneumonia, esophageal trauma, or simply fail at the worst possible moment.

Proper endotracheal intubation is a cornerstone of safe veterinary anesthesia — but choosing the right tube for each patient is not always straightforward. Size, material, cuff design, and shape all influence how smoothly the procedure goes, how well the airway is protected, and how quickly the patient recovers.

We have achieved the EcoVadis Platinum Sustainability Medal: the highest score for sustainability policy. Only 1% of companies worldwide in our category and size receive this recognition.

This year we took part in the VET Austria fair in Salzburg. We look back on a very successful event, where we connected with many inspiring veterinarians and other professionals in the veterinary field. Stay tuned – we’ll be sharing more details shortly!

What are veterinary disposables?

Veterinary disposables are single-use items designed specifically for use in veterinary clinics. These include syringes, needles, IV lines, gloves, face masks, surgical gowns, and diagnostic tools. They are an essential part of any modern veterinary practice, where hygiene, speed, and safety are top priorities.

Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment in a veterinary practice is essential—not just for the health of animals, but also for the safety of staff and pet owners. When choosing a cleaning product, you need something that is powerful, easy to use, and environmentally friendly. That’s where Oxi-Clean™ from Dispovet® comes in.

For years, veterinarians have had to rely on curved endotracheal tubes—products originally designed for human patients. But when intubating animals, a straight airway is much more natural. That’s why Dispovet® has introduced Vettubes™—the first straight disposable endotracheal tube made specifically for veterinary use.

For years, veterinarians relied on color-coded feeding tubes to ensure quick and easy identification of the right size for each patient. However, due to stricter regulations in 2018, the production of well-known Rüsch feeding tubes was discontinued—leaving a gap in the veterinary market. Now, Dispovet® is bringing them back with the Vet’s Choice® feeding tubes—a high-quality, veterinary-approved alternative that meets all professional requirements.
