title: [The pharmacy in small animal practice].
abstract: A fairly new, possibly even unique, form of co-operation between practitioners is the joint purchasing and storage of drugs by five, otherwise independently acting small-animal practitioners. The scheme and mode of operation of this joint purchase of drugs will be explained and the benefits and drawbacks of this co-operation will be discussed, both the financial and the 'sentimental' arguments in favour of this buyers' combine being presented. Which conditions have to be fulfilled by those participating and what will the future developments of this co-operation be? This scheme will undoubtedly not only result in financial gain but also in increasing good fellowship. Starting from this co-operation, attention will also be paid to the knowledge and the manner in which this knowledge is kept up to date and increased, education on veterinary drugs, 'abidence by particular forms of treatment', counselling the client and the shop function of the dispensary.
