Many ask why they have to have a current physical or bloodwork before we can fill or refill medications. While there are many reasons here are the most important ones:

• ​The DEA and State laws requires that the Veterinarian and patient have a current relationship(which means the vet has seen the animal in the last year) before prescribing meds.
  • Some medication requires careful monitoring to achieve proper therapeutic levels. This may include bloodwork at regular intervals.
• Vets can not accurately diagnose or treat an animal that has a previously unseen problem over the phone.
• While is may apper to be the same problem your pet had 2 years ago, the vet needs to make sure that there is not another problem that can be made worse by the medications.
• Eye, Ears and skin all need to be seen to make sure the proper medications are dispensed.

The Veterinarians provide the best care for your animals. Many times that means putting eyes and hands on the pet to insure that the best treatment is being carried out.
