Television commercials, pet supply catalogs, and Internet pharmacies that promise a "deal" on pet prescriptions may be misleading. If you purchase prescriptions through Internet pharmacies other than ours, please be aware of these risks:

• The drug manufacturer may not guarantee medications.
• Some medications may be foreign drugs that may not have the same quality and purity assurance as the United States does. It is generally illegal to dispense foreign drugs in the United States, including foreign versions of U.S. products.
• Some medications may be counterfeits of approved drugs.
• Selling prescriptions directly to consumers without a veterinarian-client-patient relationship is not only illegal, but may pose serious health risks to patients.

In compliance with the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936, we will continue to provide written prescriptions without any additional charge. Additionally, we will continue to honor any request for any written prescription for any medication at any time. Keep in mind the following:

• There must be a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship.
• A veterinarian must diagnose or confirm a clinical condition that supports the prescription.
• Written prescriptions are a legal document, regulated by the Department of Health and the Drug Enforcement Administration. For a variety of reasons we cannot fax copies of written prescriptions. Similarly, we cannot "phone-in" prescriptions except under the most extreme circumstances. You are welcome to pick up the written prescription (with an original signature) as soon as it's ready. Copies of the written prescriptions will be filed in each pet's medical record.
