Prescription mandates are not required

The misleadingly named “Fairness to Pet Owners Act” would force veterinarians to provide prescriptions for pets even if the customer does not want one and regardless of where the medication is available.

Veterinarians need access to compounding

In veterinary medicine, a drug compound is required to provide customized medications for specific patients with special needs that are not met by FDA-approved drugs.
