Agree
 

i day YES to the changeThe proposed new text seems to be what a lot of veterinarians are already doing. Yes, owners don’t like bringing their pet for a reevaluation they think the practice is only doing it to make money. But when the dr  has the owner sign the pain management contract they should be briefed about the fact it’s the Law. Most owners will have no issues, those who do will NOT get their medication for their pet and documention should be noted. I say YES to the change. Maybe add that any dr found not complying will be fined and may have their license suspended or revoked.
