| Our main concerns regarding internet pharmacies: | |
| • | No follow-up review of your pet's medical status with each refill. |
| • | A higher concern put on marketing than on your pet's safety. |
| • | The potential use of our Doctor's signatures to fill other prescriptions. |
| • | Unsure storage and shipping conditions. |
| • | No manufacturer backing or guarantee. |
| • | Overall decrease in your pet's health and safety. |

| • | No prescriptions will be faxed from our office to the pharmacy. |
