The Vet-VIPPS program recognizes, and certifies online pharmacies that dispense prescription medications, and certain devices for animals. However, the animals that Vet-VIPPS certified pharmacies serve are not food producing animals.
Having the Vet-VIPPS Seal on the Center Pet website means that Center Pet has met the terms that Vet-VIPPS set forward. According to the Vet-VIPPS website, “Pharmacies displaying the Vet-VIPPS Seal comply with Vet-VIPPS criteria, which address a customer’s right to privacy, authentication and security of prescription orders, adherence to a recognized quality assurance policy, and provision of meaningful consultation between customers and pharmacists.”
The Vet-VIPPS accreditation process is a very detailed procedure, and not just any pharmacy gets Vet-VIPPS certified. The process included submitting and application, which includes mandatory documentation. Also included was a reviewing Center Pet’s policies and procedures, and an on-site survey, among many other things!
The Vet-VIPPS Seal on the Center Pet website guarantees customers and potential new customers, that they have the highest pharmacy standards. A big congrats again to Center Pet, who fully deserves this honor!
