š
Effective July 1, 2025
Hey Community Cat Clinic family! š¾
We want to keep you in the loop about a new Georgia law, Senate Bill 105 (SB-105), that brings some big updates to how veterinary care is provided across the stateāincluding right here at our clinic.
What is SB-105?
This law modernizes Georgiaās veterinary regulations by:
ā
Expanding telemedicine and mobile clinic guidelines
ā
Updating how veterinary-client-patient relationships (VCPR) are established
ā
Clarifying supervision rules for vet techs and staff
ā
Strengthening recordkeeping and consent policies
ā
Giving more oversight authority to the Georgia State Board of Veterinary Medicine
What does this mean for you and your pets?
Weāre adjusting our protocols to stay fully compliantāwhile still giving you the same compassionate, high-quality care you know and love. š
You may notice:
š¹ Extra steps to confirm medical history or consent
š¹ New telemedicine options (or changes to how it's used)
š¹ Updated prescription protocols
Weāre here for you through this transition! If you have any questions, just give us a call or stop byāwe're happy to help. Below are some links to additional information on these laws.
