VCPR and Veterinary Telemedicine Rules by State
Whether each state lets a veterinarian-client-patient relationship be established electronically, how it is maintained, and what telehealth is allowed without one — summarized from each state’s own statute or board rule, with its citations and a “last verified” date on every page.
The state VCPR is only one of two: the federal VCPR, and what telemedicine can establish versus only maintain, are explained in the VCPR and veterinary telemedicine.
Who may own the practice is a separate series: veterinary practice ownership by state.
Rules change — confirm current text with the board before relying on it.
A state missing from this list has not been researched and written up yet.
It is not a statement about that state’s requirements.
VCPR Rules and Staffing: Relief Vets and New Associates
Each state page above says how that state's text lets a VCPR be established and maintained, including whether telehealth can start one. Before you schedule a relief or newly hired veterinarian alone on existing patients, or plan after-hours telehealth coverage, check your state's page and confirm anything it leaves open with the board.
