The Global Survey on Disposal of Leftover Veterinary Medicines

Dear Participants,

Pet owners may have leftover, unused, or out of date medicines (including antibiotics) at home. Safe disposal of these is important not only to avoid inappropriate use (where owners might use them in a different pet or for a different condition) but also to prevent environmental pollution (disposal via household waste or into toilets/sinks) and antimicrobial resistance.

This survey seeks to determine what measures are in place around the world to ensure the safe disposal of leftover medicines.

The survey is open to all veterinarians and will take no more than 10 minutes to complete.

Your participation in this survey is voluntary, and your responses will be anonymous, and kept in strict confidence. We appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Members of the WSAVA Therapeutics Guidelines Committee
