Vet On-Line is the first and leading independent, peer-reviewed, free veterinary journal available on the internet.

Vet On-Line was launched in 1995 and is part of Priory Medical Journals, which as a group are accessed 40,000 times a day, giving us a readership far in excess of many paper-based journals and their electronic counterparts.
