Personal Importation Programs (PIPs)
Personal Importation Programs (PIPs) at VMD Sciences are a cornerstone of veterinary medicine, enabling veterinarians to access life-saving treatments that have not yet been approved in their country, offering a lifeline for animals with urgent, unmet medical needs. These programs are initiated by veterinarians seeking a specific treatment for an individual animal or a small group of animals with the same condition, ensuring targeted care when standard options are unavailable. VMD Sciences guides veterinarians through the complex importation process, expertly navigating regulatory landscapes and securing approvals from agencies like the FDA, EMA, CFIA, and MAFF, while ensuring full compliance with international standards to deliver therapies as swiftly as possible.
For veterinarians, PIPs enhance patient care by empowering vets to address critical health issues and improve outcomes for animals under their care, while also building their expertise with emerging treatments. Pet owners benefit from seeing their animals receive novel solutions that might otherwise be inaccessible, fostering trust in their veterinarian and hope for better health outcomes. By facilitating PIPs, VMD Sciences not only delivers relief to animals in need, but also paves the way for broader adoption of these therapies in veterinary practice, contributing to global advancements in animal health and setting the stage for future regulatory approvals and widespread use of innovative treatments.
