Pet owners should give their animals only medical drugs licensed in Taiwan, and avoid buying veterinary drugs online, the Hsinchu County Animal Disease Control Center said on Saturday.
Center Director Peng Cheng-yu (彭正宇) said that many medical products for pets, especially prescription-only drugs, can only be sold by licensed vendors such as pet supply stores, pharmacies and veterinary clinics.
