Illegal Activity
The MVMA is constantly monitoring illegal activities in Massachusetts.
Internet Pharmacies
If you suspect the illegal sale of medications/drugs online, please visit the DEA's website to file a report.
Dentistry
We are pursuing new legislation to eliminate the illegal practice of dentistry. Both small animals and large animals, alike require regular veterinary care when it comes to dental health. Approximately 80% of all equine dental situations require sedation, however, many of these cases are not being treated by licensed veterinarians. The MVMA has had a regular dialogue with the Board of Registration in Veterinary Medicine regarding this situation and will continue to monitor and report such illegal practice.
Dental Scaling
Large Animal Veterinary Medicine - all the laws that apply to small animal medicine apply to large animal medicine, including dentistry.
