VETERINARY FEED DIRECTIVE EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2017

The United States Government is taking antibiotics from over-the-counter purchases to prescription items. The first phase, which involves feed additives and other oral antibiotics, begins January 1, 2017. You can be assured that this is just the beginning.

Jeffers has provided me with a list of the products which they've been advised that they cannot sell as of January 1, 2017 and that you will have to purchase via prescription from your vet. Be prepared to pay much higher prices for these products.

If you use these products, I suggest that you consider stocking up NOW. The supply chain is drying up. Manufacturers have already discontinued some products and are rebranding them for veterinary sale only.

I am told by several reliable sources that some of the antibiotic manufacturers are voluntarily giving up over-the-counter sales, thereby allowing liability issues related to improper usage to fall upon the prescribing veterinarians. I believe this to be true.

If you haven't established a relationship with a vet, do it now. It is my opinion that within five years (or less), all antibiotics will have to be purchased from a vet by prescription.
