Inspectors from the Tbilisi Department of the National Food Agency, together with specialists from the Veterinary Control Division, identified critical violations in veterinary clinics as a result of state inspections conducted in the capital.
Out of 20 inspected facilities, violations were found in 8 veterinary clinics: LLC “Akhali Veterinary Clinic,” Individual Entrepreneur D.S., LLC Veterinary Clinic “Vet.Art,” LLC “DTNB,” LLC “Zaravet,” LLC “Vetcenter Zooplaza,” Individual Entrepreneur T.Z. (Bionika), and LLC “Vet Hospital.”
Due to improper sterilization of instruments, the operations of two clinics were suspended. Violations also included improper vaccine storage, the use of unregistered, expired, and unfit medicinal products, as well as conducting business activities without registration in the Economic Activities Registry. As a result, the business operators were fined.
The National Food Agency carries out continuous state control in clinics, veterinary pharmacies, and pet stores. This year, inspections of up to 1,500 facilities subject to veterinary control are planned.
The Agency urges consumers to report any detected violations by contacting the hotline of the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture at 1501. No report will remain without response.
