I would prefer us all to have a choice as to where our prescriptions are bought from.

I used to like my vet to write out a prescription and for me to be able to purchase the drugs online, where the costs would be a lot less. Now I am forced to pay £5 just for the priviledge of a prescription being printed out. Another local vet charges a £25 fee for printed prescriptions. This removes our freedom of choice to shop around for drugs and does nothing more than line the pockets of the vets.

Last year a moretorium was placed on the veterinary profession forcing them to issue printed prescriptions if required. Now this moretorium has come to an end, I now have to pay a lot more for my pets drugs as I no longer have the freedom to shop around.

It is this kind of thing which looses my respect for the profession.
