Pet Dispensary an online retailer of Veterinary medications
is pleased to be one of the first to receive accreditation from the VMD.
The VMD (Veterinary Medicines Directorate) invited UK
Internet retailers of veterinary medicinal products to apply for accreditation
under the VMD’s ‘Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme’. The scheme is a means of regulating the
Internet sites offering veterinary medications and inspections can be carried
out to check on-going compliance with the Veterinary Medicines Regulations. To be approved the company must be able to
demonstrate compliance with the legislative requirements set out in the VMD for
dispensing, supply and advertising of veterinary medicines.
The VMD’s Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme will allow
customers a way of identifying legitimate on-line retailers and will be assured
they are purchasing authorised veterinary medicines which are correctly
supplied. The Accreditation scheme will
significantly reduce the risk of people buying veterinary medicines that are
not authorised for use in the UK or are not suitable for their animals. It is excellent for pet owners there is
reassurance when purchasing their medications from accredited sites.
Accredited websites means:
·
The retailer has voluntarily applied for and
been granted accreditation
·
The VMD has inspected the website and found that
it complies with the Accreditation Schemes requirements and the Veterinary
Medicines Regulations
·
There is less risk of buying an unauthorised,
inappropriate or ineffective veterinary medicine.
Pet Dispensary now displays the VMD’s Internet Retailer logo
which includes a unique accreditation number, clicking on the number will take
you to the register of accredited retailers on the VMD’s website and allows customers
to check the accreditation status.
