this is what we do, but will admit that if I get wind that a client is using medication contrary to what has been prescribed I won't repeat it even if okd for repeat without running it past the prescribing vet - ie a client wanting a 25kg+ nexgard for a dog that I know is deceased even if the pts wasn't done by us who then splits it into 4 for her other 4 10-15kg dogs and moans like hell that the nexgard don't work (admitted to me this is what she does when I queried that we had never sold her nexgard for her 4 smaller dogs) or if the client tells me they have upped the doseage themselves without being seen ie an undiagnosed diabetic dog which was already on incurin for incontinence and was drinking like a fish and peeing gallons because of the diabetes so the owner thought would be a good idea to double the dose

technically probably no, as it has to be prescribed by a VS. We will sell pom-v if client has been seen recently and has a recent weight, other wise we request they come back for a flea/worm check with there vet.

This comes down to your SOP.

For example, this is ours (in short hand).

Clinical and non clinical members of the team (Nurses & Reception) can dispense under these circumstances:

Animals on the Pet Health Plan can have repeat medication that is given under the PHP following the PHP protocol (Flea & Worm Tx)
Animals can have rpt of the EXACT same medication (f/w Tx) if dictated by the vet, i,e vet has wirtten 'can have rpts'
Animals can have a repeat prescription of long term medication if the vet has stated can have rpts AND has stated when the animal needs to be seen again
must be under our care etc

Complex answer but probably. If prescribed by MRCVS and any practice protocol followed.

No legal requirement that a vet present when handed the drug and money changes hands.
