What is a Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship?

The veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR) is one of the foundations of effective veterinary care and service.

A VCPR is established when a veterinarian agrees with a client to provide veterinary services to an animal.

A VCPR must exist before a veterinarian recommends or provides any veterinary services (including prescribing, dispensing, or administering drugs) for an animal.

A VCPR is required by law within the state of Michigan – in order for a veterinarian to diagnose or treat your animal, or prescribe or dispense medications.

A Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship must be maintained on an ANNUAL basis. The Veterinarian must see your Pet(s) at least once per year to be able to continue to prescribe/ refill prescriptions and yes this includes prescription grade flea and tick medications. If a VCPR is established but your veterinarian does not regularly see your pet at least once per year, the VCPR is no longer valid and it would be illegal and unethical for your veterinarian to dispense or prescribe medications or recommend treatment without recently examining your pet.

Lastly, a VCPR is the best thing for your Pet’s health. Your veterinarian should be familiar with your Pet’s medical history and keep a written record of your animal's health so they can provide your Pet with the best possible care!
