The PETS Act aims to enhance compliance with PDMP requirements for veterinarians.
The PETS Act, or Practitioner Enforcement and Tracking of Substances Act, seeks to increase compliance with PDMP requirements by veterinarians. It amends the Public Health Service Act to require veterinarians to consult the PDMP before prescribing controlled substances and to report any dispensing of such substances to the PDMP. The Act also allows states to prohibit reporting to the PDMP of the dispensing of controlled substances to minor patients if the prescribing or dispensing practitioner is a veterinarian and the patient is a veterinary patient.
