We care about the high cost of non-compliance.

An animal's compliance with medication regimes is not a joke when compliance makes the difference between good health and illness. An animal's health, of course, is tied to compliance.

These facts from recent research may surprise you:

  • The rate of compliance for chronic medication is just 76%. That means an astounding 24% of pets aren't being treated with the medications they need to live healthy lives — and in some cases, simply to live.
  • Animal owners who are shown one or more ways to administer medication had a significantly higher rate of compliance (73% vs. 59% for those not shown). Yet, only 43% of practices show animal owners how to administer medication.
  • 60% of owners would pay more for medication that is palatable or easy to administer.
  • 93% of veterinarians say that compliance monitoring has a positive impact on their practice.
  • 72% of animal owners would like to receive information in writing about their pets' medication so they could refer back to it.

Here are 8 ways to make non-compliance a non-issue:

  • Give owners information about the dangers of non-compliance.
  • Give owners simple, detailed instructions and easy administration techniques.
  • Prescribe medications that taste good.
  • Prescribe medications that are small and easy to administer.
  • Prescribe medications that are more affordable, when possible.
  • Provide automated refill reminders.
  • Make it easier, safer and more convenient for pet owners to get the medications they need.
  • Increase communication and follow-up with pet owners.
