Meet ePrescribing from fdbVela

Veterinarians and veterinarian pharmacists weigh in on issues around working with pet medications.

Wendy Crouse, DVM, an independent house call veterinarian with Heal House Call Veterinarian, sat down with Drug Topics to discuss how the adoption of e-prescribing has transformed her practice.

Limited veterinary pharmacy training is available, other than a handful of pharmacy schools that provide elective courses on the topic.

Independent veterinary pharmacists face competition from retail giants like Chewy and Amazon. To compete, they emphasize personalized service, compounding, and educating customers about their capabilities.

Filling prescriptions for animals is essentially the same as filling prescriptions for humans—with some key differences.

Caring for pets is easier when a pharmacist is involved.
