<div><font size="2"><font face="verdana,sans-serif">The AVMA might suggest to a Veterinarian that he or she attempt to work out some arrangement for a client who wants a script, but they have no authority to force the issue, and do not issue reprimands. There are a thousand reasons a Vet may be reluctant to write a script for something as simple as Heartguard, and each Vet has the right to refuse to do so.</font></font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">There are dozens of very valid reasons a Vet may not want to write you a script. And yes, in some cases it may have to do with selling his own product rather than having you go elsewhere. I personally prefer to buy from my Vet when I can, and I have one who will match a lower price you find on the internet or in a catalog. This way, if something goes wrong, I know exactly who to scream at, and where to find him.</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana">At any rate if you and your Vet cannot agree on this, then you need to find a Vet who will work things out with you.</font></div>
