"I think that, in the case of Drs. Foster and Smith at least, they are able to sell certain products OTC because the business is (ostensibly at least) owned by two veterinarians. That's their sales pitch."
You, and they, are correct. Foster and Smith are an exception. "In office" Veterinarians have tried to pursue lawsuits against them, and they have failed in each attempt that I'm aware of. It's a gray area, and the problem comes from Vets. that will purchase these products in bulk and then resell them to non-Vet. distributors. We used to get Pharm. reps. that came into our office who would scream and yell about the whole thing, but it was probably all an act. Sales are sales.
Sorry about getting so off of topic.
