3) Call our office at 0800 440 2471.
Can we purchase your products through a wholesaler?
No. The Veterinary Medicines Directorate does not permit the distribution of Veterinary Specials through wholesalers.
Can we keep an office stock of your products?
According to the guidance notes listed by the VMD, for 'The Cascade: Prescribing unathorised medicines'
You may keep human medicines, imported medicines and extemporaneous preparations (Specials) in your possession for use under the Cascade. The amount ahould be justified by the clinical need under the Cascade rules; these medicines should not be used as a first choice treatment in every situation. You should keep up to date with new authorisations and change your prescribing habits and stocking policies accordingly.

Are we required to provide a Specials Treatment Certificate (STC) or a Special Import Certificate (SIC) to order your products?
No. STCs and SICs are only required if you need to import unauthorised medicines from other countries. All of our products are manufactured at our Oxfordshire facility.
I'm a locum veterinary surgeon, can I still register to your website?
Absolutely. We just kindly ask that you indicate that you are a locum vet in the Clinic Name in the Clinic Details section e.g Locum at XYZ Veterinary Clinic.
Please note that we are unable to deliver our products to home addresses. If you wish to pay for the products yourself, you will need to create an account for each clinic that you would like products delivered to. Many clinics will already have an account with us so we need to ensure that you have your own account, at that clinic, for billing purposes.
If you wish to order for a clinic that you are working from and the clinic will be paying for the order, please contact us prior to registering.
We appreciate your interest and continued cooperation.
