The current fine for a single DEA infraction exceeds $18,000—and that’s per violation. Logging issues is one of THE biggest sources of fines for most audits. Errors don’t happen in isolation, which means fines often stack fast: one incorrect log entry per container page can become tens of thousands in penalties overnight. Just this year we've seen a veterinary hospital fined over $100,000 in the Northeast, and in some cases, well into the hundreds of thousands when multiple discrepancies, missing records, or potential of diverted drugs are involved.
But here’s where we come in. At VetSnap, we’ve worked alongside thousands of practices that once felt overwhelmed by compliance—but no longer do. With VetSnap, you maintain margin, improve patient care, and stay compliant—all without overloading your team.
