What is the VCPR?


The Veterinary Client Patient Relationship (or VCPR) is a convention that is designed to protect the animal owner from inappropriate and fraudulent veterinary medical activity. It is the foundation of contemporary veterinary medical ethics and is central to the effective delivery of high-quality animal care in the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Each country and state may publish their own VCPR definition, which requires that a licensed veterinarian maintain current one-on-one knowledge of veterinary patients.
