A veterinary prescription for a controlled substance must state the kind of animal and the name and address of the owner.

The essential point is that veterinary prescriptions for controlled substances must clearly identify the patient and the owner. Specifically, the prescription should indicate the kind of animal (the species) and the owner’s name and address. This pairing ensures the drug is tied to the correct animal and the correct person responsible for that animal, which supports accurate recordkeeping, accountability, and regulatory compliance to prevent diversion. The other details listed are not required: the owner’s phone or email, the breed or color of the animal, or the owner's date of birth do not fulfill the mandated identifiers. The key requirement is linking the medication to the specific animal by its kind and to the owner by name and address.
