Hundred of clinics share their thoughts.
​
Claremont Vet Surgery, TAS Kathryn, Vet Nurse
​
​
The Velfast® E-collars are really convenient. They get on and off quite easily. I also like the soft edge on the neckline. The Velcro is strong, making the E-collar re-usable, compared to a clickable E-collar, less sturdy. They look nice too.
STRAP BAND - Bandages
​
Vet Love Goonellabah, NSW
Rhiannon, Nurse Manager
​
I like the fact Genia bandages are long. They're also easier to use and wrap around.
​
Main Ridge Vet, VIC
Jacqui, Practice Manager
​
​
It's easy to use, I mix it with water.
COSYPAD® - Versatile Mat
​
Cannington Vet Hospital, WA
Dr Trevor, Practice Owner & Veterinarian
​
We value the Genia Cosypad® for its efficiency in keep our patients on a dry comfortable surface but also for its hardwearing quality and ease of cleaning. Would recommend as a good investment.
VACUUMAT® - Positioning Mat
​
Wendouree Vet Clinic, VIC
Kylie, Head Nurse
​
​
The Vacuumat® is working well. It's ideal for small animals, especially to maintain them on their back; we use it for each surgery.
​
Riverton Rossmoyne Vet, WA
Dr Kim, Veterinarian BSc, BVMS
​
​
The dental toy has still proven to be a much loved toy of the nurse's border collie and has remained indestructible.
PERFUVET® TWIST - Tangle Free IV Set Device
​
Wynyard Vet Clinic, TAS
Jane, Vet Nurse
​
The Perfuvet® Twist is brilliant! We used it last time for a little dog who was sick, and he didn't get tangled in the cage.
GREENCOL® E-COLLARS
​
Ulverstone Vet Clinic, TAS
Shanna, Practice Manager
​
The Greencol® E-collars are cheaper than Buster. We also like the fact we can hang them on the same hook, and pull the one we need without taking off the others ones, thanks to the opened hole.
MONOFIL® - Suture
Channel Highway Animal Hospital, TAS
Ella, Practice Manager
​
​
All our vets use the Monofil 3/0 absorbable suture cassette and are really happy with it.
EXAMED® - Examination Gloves
​
Armstrong Creek Vet Practice VIC
Rachel, Nurse Manager
​
We never had any problem with Genia gloves. They are comfortable and smooth, without leaving your hands dry.
​
Yangebup-Beeliar Vet, WA
Dr Amelia, Practice Owner & Veterinarian BSc, BVMS MVS
​
​
Genia soft splint rolls are quite good; we like the fact they're moldable.
DIGIFLASH® - Thermometers
Lathlain Vet Clinic, WA
Dr Sheree, Veterinarian
​
The flexible tip helps with difficult patients running away.
COSYPOP® - Supportive Bed
Brisbane Veterinary Specialist Centre, QLD
Dr Kate, Veterinarian
​
The Cosypop® has been a hit with the team. It's extremely useful for patients with poor bladder control, to help drain away moisture and avoid urine scalding. The soft cushioning in the base is also very comfortable for our non-ambulatory patients, and the raised edges allow us to easily keep their head elevated. It's super simple to clean, and fits perfectly in a standard size cage. We often reach for it if we have patients with tick paralysis, a neurological disorder, or just any animal that needs a particularly comfy spot that feels like a more homely dog bed.

​
Torquay Animal House, VIC
Ann, Practice Manager & Nurse​
​
We use the cooling vest for overheating patients. It works perfectly as it provides the right cooling amount for the animal.
​
Emergency Vets 247, QLD
Dr Jacqueline, Veterinarian
​
​
I've use the tablet crusher and it works well and is easy to clean.
PERFUVET® MICRO - IV Set
​
Garden Cities Vet Clinic, WA
Dr Simon, Veterinarian
​
​
I like the Perfuvet® Micro giving set because we don't have any IV pump. It is lovely to have some degree of metered control of the flow rate. We do make sure to hang the i/v bag as high as possible to maximise the accuracy. Works well in small to medium dogs and cats.
DRYSOFT® - Puppy Pads
​
Advanced Vetcare, VIC
Greta, Practice Manager
​
Genia puppy pads are really good, we never had any leak with, as they are highly absorbent. We like the fact they come in pack of 25.
​
Victoria Park Vet Clinic, WA
Monique, Vet Nurse
​
​
Bitter taste bandage gives us an extra security and more comfortable. It ensures the patient doesn't lick it and secures the catheter and the fluid.
​
Annandale Animal Hospital, NSW
Monica, Practice Manager
​
​
The instruments we ordered to stock our 3 new consult rooms are quality for consult use.
​
Murray Bridge Vet Clinic, SA
Kirstie, Vet Nurse
​
Our border collie puppy Nova loves the high bounce and compact size of the urchin toy. Especially when there's food stuffed in it.
ANIPLAST® HYDRO & SPONGI - Wound Dressings
​
Denistone Veterinary Surgery, NSW
Dr William, Veterinarian
​
​
I have used Aniplast® Hydro and Spongi wound dressings in several patients with extensive wounds with great results. One dog in particular had severe dog fight injuries to both forelegs and I felt it was likely he would require amputation of one leg and have reduced function of the other. With the use of Hydro and Spongi dressings his wounds healed and the dog is now fully recovered and running around normally without any lameness. I was amazed at the dog’s ability to heal these wounds when they were protected by these dressings and feel that the result would have been quite different without them.
​
Maribyrnong Vet Clinic, VIC
Jacqueline, Practice Manager
​
​
I like the fact we can cut the soft splint rolls to shape and mold them.
VACUUMAT® - Positioning Mat​
​
Caroline Springs Vet Hospital, VIC
Judy, Practice Manager
​
​
All of us at the clinic love al of the Genia products - especially our positioning beds that you remove the air from. They are perfect for the Radiography room and Operating table.
DIGIFLASH - Thermometers
​
Northside Emergency Vet Service, NSW
Tracey, Practice Manager
​
The Digiflash thermometers are the quickest we have found which is important in emergency situation, and our patients cope better with the flexible tip.
K-STAR​
​
Garden Cities Vet Clinic, WA
Dr Simon, Veterinarian
​
​
The K-star is fantastic, really simple. Nice tool.
​
Swanbourne Veterinary Centre, WA
Kylie, Head Nurse
​
​
We like using the Monofil, Glycofil® and Filamid suture materials because they are easy to use, clear on sizing on the pack, well priced and have a longer shelf life than most alternatives. They also come with a convenient weighted rack which makes them easy to access for the vets.
​
Lindisfarne Vet Clinic, TAS
Dr Sam, Practice Owner & Vet BVSc
​
​
I ended up giving the dental toy to my dog Tilly and given she normally destroys toys in record time, it’s amazing the dental toy is still intact.
​
Kings Meadows Vet Clinic, TAS
Kay, Practice Manager
​
​
We like the size of the Pet Piller. We find it easy to use.
​
Narwee Vet Hospital, NSW
Dr Ayman, Practice Owner & Veterinarian
​
Dispoject® Needles are of high quality, not easy to bend, sharp (they are less painful, and they do less damage to veins) and securely attached to the plastic hub. They have NO visible needle puncture marks on the skin. With a translucent hub, Dispoject® Needles you can see the blood when it is still in the needle hub. Needle hubs are colour coded by gauge makes it easier to distinguish various gauges.
​
Your Family Vet, VIC
Dr Chloe, Veterinarian BVSc​
​
​
Mainly used for long term patients such as snake bites to prevent pressure sores. So far they have been very successful.
​
Maribyrnong Vet Clinic, VIC
Jacqueline, Practice Manager
​
​
I like the fact we can cut the soft splint rolls to shape and mold them.
Wound Dressing​
​
Noah's Ark Vet, NSW
Vicky, Practice Manager
​
​
We recently started using the Aniplast® Hydro dressing and found them to be very absorbent and we were very happy with how the wounds looked. They stayed very well attached with minimal movement.
VACUUMAT - Positioning Mat​
​
Ulysses Vet Clinic, QLD
De Demian, Practice Owner & Veterinarian
​
​
We recently purchased two of the Vacuumat® for our busy small animal practice. They have been an instant hit with all the nurses and the vets. They are fantastic for holding patients in position (especially the awkward deep chested breeds) and are extremely easy to use and keep clean. I would highly recommend them. In fact I've just ordered some more!
COSYPAD®- Versatile Mat
​
Supervets, QLD
Dr Anthony, Practice co-owner & Senior Veterinarian
​
As a veterinary nurse for 12 years before a practicing vet, I can thoroughly appreciate the sheer amount of cleaning, washing and disinfecting required in day to day operations of a hospital. We want out patients to be comfortable and warm and are always looking to improve hospital care and efficiencies when dealing with bodily excrements. When Génia introduced their new Cosypad® we trialed them, and within weeks filled every cage in 2 24hr hospitals with them as routine. Now every patient has a comfortable non slip bed which keeps them off cold surfaces and prevents urine scalding. Being hygienically washable means we have drastically reduced our use of towels and the costs of washing as a consequence. We have also found them particularly useful as a non-slip surface in consult and prep benches, and routinely use them as the resting surface for patient heads during dental procedures, with pee pads underneath keeping their face far cleaner. Very useful in the car too ! We absolutely love them! :)
PERFUVET® MICRO - IV Set​
​
Balwyn Veterinary Surgery, VIC
Dr Amanda, Practice Owner & Veterinarian​
​
We love this product. We can use it for small animals but we mainly use these for CRI’s (Constant Rate Infusions) when delivering such medications as methadone for pain relief.
​
Figtree Veterinary Clinic, NSW
Jana, Practice Manager
​
​
The Bitter Band is great for stopping patients licking their bandage. The handy starting strip makes it easy to find the beginning of the bandage to unroll.
​
The Animal Hospital Kalgoorie, WA
Marge, Practice Manager
​
​
We like the colourful Genia E-collars. They are quite sturdy and last really well.
​
EVERVET Prahan, VIC
Gemma, Vet Nurse
​
Thomas loved the dental toy! I was worried it was too big for him but he really tries to chomp down on it to get the food inside. I also really love how easy it is to clean and that it is dishwasher safe. We have ordered one in as they will be great for pets as owners go back to work - Thomas was entertained for almost two hours, including while we were having dinner which never happens usually.
DIGIFLASH® - Thermometers​
Companion Animal Hospital, NSW
Danny, Practice Manager​
​
​
Allows us to use time effectively ! Less discomfort for animals and quicker procedure time, up to date nursing practice.
COOLING VEST​
Bayside Animal Hospital, NSW
Naomi, Head Nurse​
​
​
In regards to the cooling jacket, it's awesome to know I have something I can use on my dogs whether it's just a hot day, or if they've been out running around earlier in the day and they're finding it hard to cool down afterwards. I quickly soak it with water and wring it out which I find easier to do than with other jackets I've tried. Because of the velcro I can adjust it easily to fit quite snug against my dog's chest, and it's nice and lightweight so they don't seem bothered by it. The jacket stays damp for hours but I find my dogs cool down generally within the hour and are ready to keep zooming.
DRYSOFT® - Puppy Pads​
​
​
Success Vet Hospital, WA
Brie, Practice Manager
​
The Drysoft® are very absorbent;
good quality.
Emergency Vets 247, QLD
Jacqueline, Veterinarian
​
​
The poop bag dispenser is very ergonomic and portable - I like that it is soft rather than rigid, and also enjoy the dispensing design.
VACUUMAT® - Positioning Mat
​
The Barnyard Vet, TAS
Roz, Practice Owner
​
​
​
​
The Vacuumat® is easy! You don't need to worry to roll a towel, you just need to mold it around the patient, and you're good to go!
Greencross Vets Carrara, QLD
Alana, Practice Manager
​
​
The Neocol® is a great owner compliance. Love the soft padding to protect furniture and shins. Colour coding makes for easy identification.
​
Greencross Vets Armadale, WA
Venessa, Practice Manager
​
Genia urinary catheters are so easy to use ! They go through really well. They have as well a wide size reference, to fit them all! Cat catheters: We like the fact we can easily stitch the base in. Dog catheters: They are durable. They're nice and sturdy, without being too stiff.
Bunbury Vet Clinic, WA
Amanda, Head Nurse
​
​
Genia bandages are easy to rip. We like as well the little marker to find the edge; it's a big help!
COSYPAD® - Versatile Mat
​
Reynella Vet Clinic, SA
Megan, Vet Nurse
​
​
We have been using Cosypad® during our dental procedures and ear flushes for the last year or so. They help to keep our patients dry. They are really easy to wash, straight into the washing machine with our other items and they dry very quickly.
PERFUVET® DUO - IV Set
​
Panania Vet Clinic, NSW
Leanne, Practice Manager
​
​
​
Better quality than our previous product. Not pulling apart at connection for portals. 2 portals as compared to some other giving set.
STRAP® BAND - Bandages
​
Southern Animal Health, VIC
Stephanie, Vet Nurse
​
​
Genia Strap Band are easy to use as they rip straight!
​
Murray Bridge Vet Clinic, SA
Kirstie, Vet Nurse
​
​
Our puppy loves the Vetopop® Boucing Ball. She's often nawing on it or just carrying it around. It's the only ball she will actually go fetch (won't bring it back though!). Definitely one of her favourites and is still in perfect condition despite her needle sharp teeth (she's only 16 weeks old).
PERFUVET® MICRO - IV Set
Swanbourne Vet Centre, WA
Kylie, Head Nurse
​
We started using the Perfuvet® Micro giving sets for patients undergoing routine surgeries as they are accurate and cheaper than the giving sets that work go with our fluid pump.
UROLENE® CAT - Urinary Catheters
​
Ryde Veterinary Clinic, NSW
Jenny, Vet Director
​
I highly recommend the Urolene® catheter. It makes unblocking cats much less stressful. The hub also has a rotating collar and is more comfortable for the patient. The stylet also allow easier catheterisation without traumatising the urethra excessively.
VACUUMAT® - Positioning Mat​
​
Tea Tree Gully Vet Hospital, SA
Tascha, Senior Vet Nurse
​
We have received the Vacuumat® and been using it for a couple of weeks now. We love it as it not only keeps our patient well insulated and helps prevent hypothermia but also is great with positioning for dental radiographs.
COSYPOP® - Supportive Bed
​
​
Rosebud Pet Vet, VIC
Robyn, Practice Owner
​
Our patient Daisy enjoyed the Cosypop. She couldn’t wait to get into it. She was in hospital and the bed helped to keep her clean and dry and, as you can see, very comfortable!
DOPPLER VET BP - Non-invasive Method
​
Exotic Vet Nurse Training, WA
Samantha Clutterbuck, Owner
​
​
​
For reptiles, I’ve recently discovered these dopplers with pencil probes from Genia Australia that are amazing. The pencil probe can be used in place of a regular small square probe but I find it’s especially helpful when looking for chelonian (turtle and tortoise) heart sounds. The best place to find these heart sounds is generally the left thoracic inlet, but if you’ve ever tried this yourself, you’ll know it can be quite deep, and require pushing your fingers onto the little square probe quite firmly to hear it
​
CARBONTECH V2 - Heating Mat​
​
Mr Gravatt Veterinary Clinic, QLD
Renee, Vet Nurse
​
​
I have absolutely been loving the new Carbon Tech heat matts! Both sizes have been working really well in keeping all our patients warm under anaesthetic aswell as keeping them comfortable after procedures 😊 The waterproof material and fast warming has been perfect for our daily surgery and hospital patients.
