Vehicle Inventory Guidelines

Description:

Inventory includes but is not limited to: drugs, ointments, consumable clinic supplies, pet foods, OTC products like shampoo, collars, etc. 

Pay attention to rotating products to avoid expiration, product loss due to theft or waste, ordering new products, and maintaining an accurate reflection of inventory on hand. Lack of inventory leads to missed sales, impacting revenue and pet health.
