Under Page 9 of the Alabama Veterinary Medicine Practice Act, pet care providers cannot legally handle, administer, or directly assist with medications unless they are licensed veterinarians.

Client Responsibility for Medications

To comply with Alabama law, all medications must be pre-packaged by the owner before drop-off. This ensures that your pet’s medication is properly administered without requiring handling by Petz Pack staff or hosts.

Medication Packaging Guidelines:

✅ Pill Medications:

• • Each pill must be placed inside a pill pocket before drop-off.
  • Pre-portion your dog’s food in individual baggies.
  • Place the pill pocket inside the corresponding meal bag based on when the medication should be given.

Example: If your dog requires a morning pill, place the pill in a pill pocket and include it in the breakfast bag. If no medication is needed at dinner, pre-pack the food without a pill pocket.

✅ Important Notes:

• • Check with your veterinarian before pre-packaging medications, especially for long stays. Some medications may degrade inside pill pockets over time.

Medications Petz Pack CANNOT Administer:

🚫 Oral medications (if not pre-packaged by the owner)
🚫 Liquid ear medications
🚫 Injections of any kind

By following these guidelines, we ensure legal compliance while keeping your pet’s routine medication schedule intact. If your pet requires medication beyond what is permitted, we recommend consulting with your veterinarian for alternative boarding solutions.
