For the health and safety of our clients and their pets, and to comply with the Food and Drug Administration regulations , we have specific rules that must be followed by our veterinarians, our staff, and our clients in regards to the sales of prescription medications. Of special concern is the refill of medications used in the treatment of on-going or recurring conditions.
All prescription medications require the verbal or written approval of one of our veterinarians.
For this approval to be given, the pet must have a concurrent veterinary exam, or in the case of refill medications, have had an exam by one of our doctors within the last year that involved the same problem or condition. Thank you for your cooperation. Since the advent of the Internet and all of the marketing opportunities provided therein, we have found ourselves in a dilemma between what is ethical and what is economical for our clients. Our prescriptions can be undersold, but the online companies cannot and will not provide the service that we do, and it is questionable whether their businesses are even legal. Only licensed pharmacies can sell prescription medications without having a direct relationship with the patients.
