The problem
- In August 2025, a federal court entered a $956,709 default judgment against a veterinarian for recordkeeping failures: 44 missing order forms, six missing dispensing records, one missing inventory. No diversion alleged. Just paperwork.
- Civil penalties run $15,691 per violation, and auditors find an average of 11 fine-worthy violations per routine hospital assessment. A Maine vet paid $145,360. A New Hampshire hospital paid $53,500. A San Diego clinic paid $125,000.
- OSHA fines average ~$1,000 for a non-compliant practice — but the inspection that finds the missing HazCom plan keeps looking.
- Your competitors sell courses ($199/person). Nobody sells the reference you reach for at 11pm when you're wondering whether that log is complete.

FAQ
Is this legal advice?
No — it's an educational reference. Your attorney handles your specific situations.
We're part of a corporate group with a compliance department — do we need this?
Probably not. This is built for independent practices without in-house compliance.
Does this cover my state's rules?
The federal core (DEA + OSHA) applies everywhere. The state-supplement model shows you exactly where to map your state's extras — and the annual bulletin tracks major state changes.
What if the rules change?
That's what the $99/yr update is for — the January bulletin covers every change.
