We have so much information on this that it’s impossible to organize it neatly on this page.
So we organized a multi-page document covering New Mexico Prescription Drug Monitoring Protocols (PDMP), prescriptions and dispensing, telemedicine, Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationships (VCPR), and permits.
We also include additional information on veterinary professional licensing, state licensing, recordkeeping, permits, and continuing education.

Over 500 vets and over 100 techs responded to our 2022 survey about relief rates.
Important notes:
- We specifically did not ask members what they charge themselves. We know people can be shy about disclosing that info, so we focused on their understanding of typical rates.
- Participants were permitted to respond for multiple states, as relief professionals may work in multiple states.
GENERAL PRACTICE RELIEF VETS: 3 RESPONSES
EMERGENCY RELIEF VETS: 4 RESPONSES
GENERAL PRACTICE RELIEF TECHS: 16 RESPONSES
