Products containing these ingredients will require a prescription as of December 1, 2018.
Pork producers with a valid prescription will be able to purchase drugs (including drugs that may be mixed into animal feed) at a veterinary clinic or a pharmacy. Prescription medicated feed can be purchased through a veterinarian, a pharmacist or a commercial feed mill with a valid veterinary prescription.
In order to use medically important antimicrobials in the care of animals, veterinarians will need to have a valid Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship with the animal owner to issue a prescription.
A Veterinarian-Client-Patient-Relationship is a medical service relationship between the veterinarian and the farmer for the care of food animals and is regulated by provincial veterinary licensing authorities.
According to the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, a legitimate VCPR is considered to exist only if medical records of the veterinary practice contain evidence of relevant and timely interaction between the veterinarian, animal owner, and animal patients. This may include: farm visits, consultations, direct animal examinations (individual or herd), laboratory reports, production record reviews, etc.
The VCPR is not a signed contractual agreement but rather a working connection and interaction between veterinarian, client and specific animal patient or group of animals. More information about the VCPR can be found at: www.canadianveterinarians.net/documents/importance-of-vcpr
