July 14th, 2010 by admin | Filed under Uncategorized.In the UK, most pet medications sold are prescriptions-only-medications (POMs). POMs are supplied by manufacturers to veterinary wholesalers and doctors. They in turn, sell these to pet owners. POMs in the UK are much more expensive than in any other part of Europe.
In the UK, there are some service institutions run by nurses for pet medication. They give medications to pets by visiting the houses of pet owners. They provide services for pets such as dogs, cats, birds and fish. Their services are available for 365 days a year. These service providers cover the area of UK on a case-by case-basis. They give topical medications, oral medications and injections. They usually charge a small fee for giving injections. If necessary, they take the pets with them to the veterinary surgeon. They also suggest food prescriptions to be followed. For new pet owners, they give an initial consultation free of charge.
These service providers charge extra price on additional number of pets. The pet owners have to book in advance for consultation purposes. 50% of the cost is required as security deposit at the time of the first booking. The balance will be collected at the time when they visit the homes of pet owners. One can pay the money by check, cash or by availing credit card facilities or bank transfer. When they visit the home of pet owners, they even clean the cages of these pets, give food and water for pets, and record the activities of pets.
There are some UK pet pharmaceutical companies which offer non-prescription drugs and vaccines, and some others offer pet services. Some of these companies offer on-line services to the public for purchasing pet medications.
The Veterinary Medicines Directorate controls the pet medicines in UK. It is an offence to place a pet medicine in the market if the medicine has not been granted a market authorization by the Secretary of state. The holder of market authorization will be found guilty if the pet medicines supplied do not maintain the standards of marketing authorization.
