SO...

What does the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) say about it?
Some internet sites that sell pet drugs represent legitimate and reputable pharmacies, but others are fronts for unscrupulous businesses operating against the law. FDA had found companies that sell unapproved pet drugs and counterfeit products, make fraudulent claims, dispense prescription drugs without prescriptions and sell expired drugs. Pet Owners who have purchased drugs from these companies may think they are saving money, but in reality they may be short changing their pet's health and putting its life at risk.

When Ordering Online The FDA Recommends TO:

1)Order from an outsourced prescription management service that your veterinarian provides. (VetStore Rx)

2)Order from a web-site that belongs to a VIPPS-accredited pharmacy

The VIPPS (The Verified Internet Pharmacies Practice Sites) is a voluntary certification program of the national Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) The NABP gives the VIPPS seal to online pharmacies that comply with stringent licensing and inspection requirements. Only pharamacies that sell human drugs are certified at this time, but veterinarian will occasionally use human drugs when there is not an animal drug approved for the pets illness.

RED FLAGS

Some Foreign Internet Pharmacies advertise that veterinary prescription drugs are available to U.S. citizens without a prescription. There is a risk of the drugs not being FDA approved.
A foreign or domestic pharmacy may claim that one of it's veterinarians on staff will "evaluate" the pet after looking over a form filled out by the pet owner, and then prescribe the drug. "A Veterinarian should physically examine the an animal prior to making a diagnosis to determine the appropriate therapy.
The CVM (who regulates manufacturers and distributors of animal drugs) is especially concerned that pet owners are going online to buy two types of commonly used prescription veterinary drugs, NSAID'S (Nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs) & heartworm preventatives.
"Both drugs can be dangerous if there is no professional involvement." IF there is no veterinary-client-patient relationship, this is a very dangerous practice.

Nsaids should not be purchased on the internet without a Veterinarians involvement because:
-dogs should undergo blood testing and a thorough physical examination before starting NSAIDS
-Dogs should be monitored by a veterinarian while taking NSAIDS
-Veterinarian should discuss possible side effects of NSAIDS with the owner.
-the prescription should be accompanied with a client information sheet explaining the important safety information.

Heartworm disease is a potentially fatal condition transmitted by a mosquito that is carrying infected larvae of the heartworm parasite. Dogs, cats and ferrets can get heartworm.
The American Heartworm Society Recommends:
-Using Heartworm Medication year round no matter where you live in the United States.
-Getting Dogs tested yearly to make sure they are not infected with heartworms.

(If a heartworm positive dog is given a heartworm preventative, if could cause severe interactions with that pet, and possibly even death!)
