    is this only for mail order clients or anyone who uses phenobarbital for their dogs in any state?? Wish it was a bit clearer on that.

    • If you are prescribed phenobarbital, check your tablets. Veterinary medications are sold both direct to consumers and in bulk to veterinarians who fill prescriptions in the clinic. Often, those medications are not sold to consumers in the same packaging, but transferred to a new bottle with the prescribing vet/clinic's information and instructions.
