Veterinary medicine; providing written prescriptions to clients required, subject to conditions

Summary

The bill requires Alabama veterinarians to provide a written prescription when a client asks, provided the vet believes the drug is safe for home use and a valid vet‑client‑patient relationship exists. It also obligates vets to tell clients they can request a written prescription before dispensing medication and requires veterinary offices to post a sign about this right. The goal is to give pet owners more options for filling their animal's prescriptions.
