Latest News - Out of The Gates April


 
Some might say this column is going to the dogs -- and cats and other animals in need of veterinary care.

Last month, we announced that our new Associate, Sue Hudson Duran, is a veterinary pharmacist with tremendous expertise and experience in the field.

Today, we're announcing a new relationship with the Massachusetts Veterinary Medicine Association to help its members comply with prospective regulations. You can read more about it on our website by clicking here.

In addition to our growth in the veterinary pharmacy area, we have an exciting new partnership. The details are in the newsletter below, so please read on.
