To stay safe when buying veterinary medicines online, look out for the official logo.
The official logo should display on the websites of all online veterinary medicine retailers registered with their national regulatory authority in an EU Member State or European Economic Area (EEA) country (Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein).
The official logo contains the national flag of the EU Member State or EEA country where the retailer is established and registered. Clicking on the logo will open the national register of online retailers of veterinary medicines. This allows you to check that the retailer is authorised to sell veterinary medicines.
Do not continue with your purchase if the retailer is not on the national register.
Only the national flag of an EU Member State or EEA country can be displayed on the official logo. If you see a logo that displays the EU flag, for example, is not authentic.
