“Hi there, I haven't been to your hospital before but I have a horse/dog/goat that is sick but I wanted to talk to a vet real quick, get some advice over the phone, and maybe come pick up some meds for him.” Unfortunately, we cannot do that, we do not have a VCPR!

Welcome back to “I don’t know what I don’t know!” This weeks topic: VCPR

What Is a VCPR in Veterinary Medicine? 🐾
A Veterinarian–Client–Patient Relationship (VCPR) is the foundation of legal and responsible veterinary care. It means a veterinarian knows the client, has sufficient knowledge of the animal, and has agreed to provide medical care when needed.

🩺 What Establishes a VCPR?
A VCPR is formed when:
• The veterinarian has examined the animal or visited the premises
• The veterinarian is familiar with the animal’s health and management
• The client agrees to follow the veterinarian’s instructions
• The veterinarian is available for follow-up care or emergencies

❗ Why a VCPR Is Important:
• Required by law to prescribe medications or treatments
• Ensures safe, accurate diagnoses and treatment plans
• Protects animal welfare
• Supports responsible use of medications, including antibiotics
• Provides continuity of care and accountability

Without a valid VCPR, veterinarians cannot legally diagnose, prescribe, or treat animals—even if advice is well-intentioned.

We know it's frustrating when you call in and just want some antibiotics for your animal- but we cannot do that, especially if we have never seen you or your animal. It is against the law!

A strong VCPR protects the animal, the owner, and the veterinarian, ensuring the highest standard of care and trust in veterinary medicine.
