Submission Text
Pet Medication Workshop: Consumers should always have choice where they buy their prescriptions. Pharmacies, whether on line or brick and mortar should be held to the same standard. The national pet pharmacy "Pet Meds" regularly violates prescriptions. They dispense medication without authorization and incorrectly. I have tremendous respect and rely on many on line pharmacies for medications that I can not afford to stock. I sign all internet prescriptions that are required and appropriate. Companies should be help to the same standard and oversight. Large internet pharmacies should comply to the same regulations and submit to the same over-site that brick and mortar pharmacies must comply with.
