What is a VCPR and why do you need one?
|
Health Canada requires all antimicrobials used in animals (pets and livestock) to be under the oversight of a registered veterinarian and requires a prescription. A prescription is a direction issued by a registered veterinarian that an animal or group of animals be treated with a specified drug at a specified dose for a specified period of time for treatment of a specified condition. In order to issue a prescription, a veterinarian must document that a valid veterinarian-client-patient-relationship (VCPR) exists. For more information please visit the CVMA website https://www.canadianveterinarians.net/valid-vcpr

We do require that your Veterinary Services Agreement is up to date as well. Ideally this should be done annually to reflect any changes that may have occurred over the last year. A copy is available to the right for you to download, complete and return to our office. We truly do appreciate your cooperation in making sure we have the most up to date information on file. |
