Summary
The PETS Act changes federal law so veterinarians must check a state Prescription Drug Monitoring Program (PDMP) before prescribing controlled substances and must report any dispensing, using the animal owner's information instead of the animal's. It also adds a requirement to report non‑fatal overdose events within 72 hours. The goal is to improve tracking of controlled‑drug use in veterinary practice and protect public health.
