Kurztext

Since the 1950s, pharmacy's share of pet medicine sales has declined from about 80% to a current level of 10%. However, with an estimated 26 million companion animals in the UK, and a pet care market worth around £200 million, there is enormous potential for pharmacists in pet medicine sales.

This is of widespread relevance and is distinct from the role of specialist veterinary pharmacists involved with livestock and the farming community. This unique title provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject of veterinary pharmacy, and will equip pharmacists and pharmacy students with the knowledge necessary to allow them to become involved in this rewarding area.
