There has been minimal disruption to the supply of veterinary medicines following the end of the Grace Period.

Northern Ireland’s farmers, pet owners and veterinary practitioners have largely maintained access to the same products as before.

Veterinary Medicine Directorate (VMD) officials continue to monitor the situation closely via the Supply Co-ordination forum set up earlier this year.
