Since the early 2000’s, states began to mandate the use of prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) to prevent “pharmacy shopping” and abuse of controlled substances.1 Pharmacy shopping is a term used for a person who will go to multiple pharmacies to buy controlled substances with cash. Now, pharmacists and prescribers use PDMPs to track who, where, and when a person has received a controlled substance. More recently, there have been reports of veterinarian shopping for the misuse of controlled substances. With vet-shopping, investigators believe that pet-owners are obtaining controlled substance prescriptions for their pets, then using the prescription for themselves.
