The information and resources made available on the NAVEMS website do not provide authorization for non-veterinary licensed personnel to practice veterinary medicine without the direct or indirect supervision from a licensed veterinarian. The available resources are intended to be used as a template and/or reference to assist each EMS/FIRE/LE agency in developing their own prehospital protocols and standing orders for rendering emergency lifesaving pre-veterinary care to OpK9s injured in the Line of Duty.
