Please can I ask for opinions on the processes used in other practices? As a practice we have an existing health care plan for annual boosters and regular flea and wormers prescribed by a veterinary surgeon at a check up appointmenten-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/245781?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Oct 2024 07:15:33 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:952b4a6d-08ee-472a-abc1-26c0ce90b4b5Rob Loxley<p>[quote userid="19228" url="~/f/non-clinical-questions/31067/looking-for-thoughts-pitfalls-and-opinions-on-home-delivery-plans/245778#245778"]seems like some one said would you like to give away a share of your profit and we will give you less control more complexity and some extra paperwork ? yes please[/quote] <p>and clients coming into the practice helping bond them to the practice, maybe buy their food or other supplies from you at the same time? who&#39;s liable for the extra costs if it goes missing in the post? surely postage now comprises 10% of the what the clients are paying for the service, and I assume they aren&#39;t charged extra for this so another hit on the bottom line?<br />the cynical businessperson might also suggest that the % of clients who never collect their full annual allocation of flea and worming treatment makes these plans more financially attractive to offer?</p></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/245778?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 22 Oct 2024 03:54:29 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:83835d2f-9007-42db-a5d2-e6a3dff4785dcairncross<p>I understand we should only certify that which we know to be true how do we know that a dogs weight therefore dose and also &quot;lifestyle risks &quot; have not changed dramatically in the intervening period . my guess is by calling it&nbsp; a prescription you the vet are liable , if they called it a requisition form then they would need a prescription separate otherwise they would be responsible for dispensing a prescription med without a prescription and they would be liable . by making it a prescription you are accepting the animal is under your care and you have taken responsibility for providing any 24 7 back up needed you have accepted the role of keeping an audited trail, of paying for and having a medicines inspection whilst someone else who hasnt spent 5 years in vet school and isnt paying this cost off over the next 10 or12 years&nbsp; walks away with a significant share of what should be your&nbsp; profit plus&nbsp; your clients data to sell on whilst you remain the non virtual person they can access face to face when theres an issue that isnt in your remit&nbsp; such as the goods going missing .&nbsp;</p> <p>seems like some one said would you like to give away a share of your profit and we will give you less control more complexity and some extra paperwork ? yes please</p> <p>not directed at you personally at those who agreed to this&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
