veterinary regulations

Veterinary regulations are rules and laws that govern the practice of veterinary medicine to ensure the health and welfare of animals, public safety, and ethical standards. They set requirements for licensure, professional conduct, and proper use of medications and treatments. These regulations also oversee the handling of controlled substances, animal welfare policies, and responsibilities in animal research and food safety. By adhering to these standards, veterinarians ensure they provide competent, ethical care while protecting animals, clients, and the environment. Regulatory bodies, such as veterinary boards, enforce these laws and oversee licensing and disciplinary actions when necessary.
