Medication Policy - Petz Pack

Medications Policy

Page 9 of the Alabama Veterinary Medicine Practice Act prohibits individuals in the pet industry from handling medications directly without a residing veterinarian.

Important If your dog is on pill medication, we require the medications be prepackaged in pill pockets for your host.

For example, if your pup has a daily morning medication, please place that pill in a pill pocket and drop it in a baggy with your pup’s pre-portioned breakfast. For this instance, there’s no need to also pre-package dinner since only morning medication is required. Packaging in this manner ensures that the host is not responsible for the administering of the medication and simply needs to empty the contents provided by the client into the bowl.

Important Please check with your veterinarian, especially if you are going to have a long stay. Certain medications may degrade within the pill pocket.
