Key Regulations
According to Section 26 of the Ontario Veterinarians Act, your veterinarian must provide a written prescription if they do not dispense medication or if you request one. They can also give an oral prescription to a pharmacist in Ontario.
College of Veterinarians' Guidelines:
- A veterinarian must comply with requests for prescriptions, which should be directed to Ontario pharmacists only, not internet pharmacies.
- They may charge a reasonable fee for the prescription.
- It's the client’s responsibility to fill the prescription as they see fit, including out-of-province options.
