The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public. For example, the price of a bottle of oxytetracycline and gentamicin for pets is only a few cents, but a shot costs hundreds of yuan. Vaccines are imported for 2.5 yuan a bottle and domestic for more than 1 yuan a bottle, but a single shot to the public is 50 yuan.

In addition, there are up to seven or eight types of medication available to treat pets that are sick. For example, antibiotics such as dexamethasone, amikacin, vitamin C, gentamicin and oxytetracycline.

This is why there is an urgent need for the government to strengthen regulation.
