Frequently Asked Questions

Why do so many practitioners say Fatal-Plus is the best euthanasia drug on the market?
Fatal-Plus is very syringable and does not require cutting. It’s unlikely you will blow a vein or needle hub while administering Fatal-Plus. Fatal-Plus may be used on all animals, regardless of species. Fatal-Plus is colored blue for easy and safe product identification.

Additionally, Fatal-Plus comes in a plastic bottle which won’t break if accidentally dropped. It also won’t freeze during the winter if you’re working outdoors on large animals.

How do I order Fatal-Plus?
Fatal-Plus is a Schedule II (C-II) drug and must be ordered on the D.E.A. 222 order form, also known as the U.S. Official Order Forms – Schedules I & II. All 222 Forms must contain the ‘2N’ license designation. We cannot process 222 Forms which only have the ‘2’ license designation, and therefore, these forms will be returned to you.
