Which owner detail must appear on a prescription?

• A. Address only
• B. Full name, address and contact details of owner
• C. Name only
• D. Phone number only

Answer: (B)

The essential idea is to verify who is responsible for the animal and to keep clear, actionable contact information. On a veterinary prescription, the owner’s full name, address, and contact details create a verifiable link between the patient and the person authorized to receive and manage the medication. This ensures the right animal is treated, allows staff to reach the owner for clarifications, dose or administration instructions, refills, or any adverse effects, and satisfies record-keeping and regulatory requirements. Having only a name, or only an address, or only a phone number would leave gaps in identification and communication, so the full set of details is required.
