Please Note About Virtual Care Each state has their own governing board that determines what is allowed through virtual veterinary care. All states allow education discussions with clients, to help in triaging or understanding a situation related to their pet. A number of states do not allow a veterinarian to diagnose or prescribe medications solely through the virtual platform without a related IN PERSON relationship with that specific veterinarian within the last year. States in which Dr. Pope holds a license that do not allow prescriptions through this platform include, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Michigan and for this reason Dr. Pope does not see patients through this platform in those states.

In addition as noted above, federal law requires that all prescriptions provided through a virtual platform, where there has only been virtual contact with the pet, must be on label. Federal law also prohibits providing control drugs with a relationship solely through a virtual platform. Therefore, this will limit the medications Dr. Pope can prescribe through solely a virtual visit versus an in-person visit. If you have any questions related to this, please feel free to ask Dr. Pope.
