Compliance is a serious issue for veterinarians and pet owners. Many pet owners don’t realize the dangers and consequences of abandoning or interrupting treatment, and most are not aware of other options that could make administering medications more pleasant for them and their pets. When they become frustrated with administering medication, they may just decide to take their business elsewhere. When non-compliance results in lost business, it could cost your practice more than you realize.
Increased information leads to increased compliance.
The more informed owners are about the consequences of non compliance, the less likely they are to stop their pets’ prescribed treatment regimens. We take patient care very seriously; our pharmacists and customer care specialists are available to answer any questions pet owners may have – either by telephone or in person. We offer printable patient-counseling materials and veterinarian-authored information online to give you and them important information about the compounded preparations you prescribe for their pets.
Get more out of your veterinary practice.
