Submission Text
1. Economy of Scale: Why is it assumed that because my SMALL BUSINESS has a product at a more expensive price compared to Costco or PetSmart that we are price gauging? Is it not the definition of a MegaMart to have lower prices due to buying in bulk? If you would like this to change please speak with the manufacturer/distributor. 2. Human Pharmacy Doesn't Equal Veterinary Pharmacy: The vast majority of pharmacies have NO training in veterinary medicine. They have killed my patients through this ignorance. Because of that, I now will not turn my patient's care loose to just any pill-counter. They are just an accident waiting to happen until ALL that they are required to know about human medicine they also know about veterinary medicine. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, J. Schutte D.V.M.
