I do this.

I think so long as the animals names are on the packet with the dose that they need and the client is told that is what you have done then it is fine. If they were different strengths it would be different eg if using drontal and one pet had the XL tablet as although this is huge and should be obvious it is a different strength and could be given to the wrong pet but if all the same, then save some trees!

I see nothing wrong with it, as long as it says which tablets are for which animal it's fine.. Otherwise the owner walks out with loads of envelopes and nurses can also get confused!

I do the same - so long as its the same medication, all the tablets are the same strength and the appropriate dose for each animal being treated is clearly on the envelope, so yes I would attach as many labels as there are animals being treated making sure all can be clearly read. Why is there a problem with this?

I do this often with medications of the same type for different animals in the household. I Just say to the owner all of them are in the one packet. Saves packets and cardboard don't get the big deal?

not sure to the legal side of it, but i can see no problem with i. as long as the client understands that all 3 meds are in the same box? and they are all exactly the same medication x
