On-Line Drug Pet Safety
Maintaining your pet’s health and well-being are our highest priorities at La Cumbre Animal Hospital. Therefore, we would like to make you aware of potential risks when ordering your pet’s medications online- those manufacturer guarantees of safety and efficacy are void and that you could receive expired, ineffective or counterfeit medication that looks legitimate.
Unknown to the general public, all of the major manufacturers of prescription veterinary drugs (such as Elanco, Ceva, Novartis, Zoetis, etc.) have a long-standing policy to only sell their drugs to facilities such as La Cumbre Animal Hospital that have current established veterinary-client-patient relationships. The policies were enacted to ensure that their medications were being properly prescribed to appropriate patients, for appropriate medical conditions, and used correctly according to the FDA label.
When products are purchased directly from a veterinarian’s office, the manufacturer stands behind their product guarantee of safety and efficacy of the medication. Manufacturers of prescription veterinary drugs do not sell to any online pharmacies, big box stores, or pet stores including Pet Meds, Drs. Foster and Smith, Costco, Walmart, Petco, etc. Because manufacturers do not sell to online companies directly, these companies are forced to buy their products through middlemen and cannot guarantee that legitimate products have been handled, stored, or shipped properly- all of which could decrease their effectiveness and possibly the safety of these products.
Additionally, there are increased reports of fake and counterfeit products infiltrating the supplies. Many products are in identical packaging. Pharmacies, clients, and even veterinarians cannot tell if the product is fraudulent until they fail to work or cause illness in the patient.
