Washington DC Veterinary Telehealth Law

Washington DC supports veterinary telehealth. The DC Board of Veterinary Medicine allows licensed veterinarians to establish a valid VCPR (veterinarian-client-patient relationship) through telemedicine. This means DC pet owners can receive complete veterinary care — including prescriptions — without an initial in-person exam.
