Veterinary-Client-Patient Relationship

In accordance with the standards set forth by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), and by all applicable state and federal laws and regulations, you (the client) agree that by using Saratoga Horse RX’s online shop, you have an established Veterinary-Client-Patient Relationship (VCPR) with the prescribing veterinarian.

As defined by federal regulation 21CFR530.3, a VCPR exists when all of the following conditions have been met:

  1. a veterinarian has assumed the responsibility for making medical judgments regarding the health of (an) animal(s) and the need for medical treatment, and the client (the owner of the animal or animals or other caretaker) has agreed to follow the instructions of the veterinarian;
  2. there is sufficient knowledge of the animal(s) by the veterinarian to initiate at least a general or preliminary diagnosis of the medical condition of the animal(s); and
  3. the practicing veterinarian is readily available for follow-up in case of adverse reactions or failure of the regimen of therapy. Such a relationship can exist only when the veterinarian has recently seen and is personally acquainted with the keeping and care of the animal(s) by virtue of examination of the animal(s), and/or by medically appropriate and timely visits to the premises where the animal(s) are kept.
