AFAIK in Belgium, you can get all medicins for your pets from any pharmacy. In addition, some vets have a small supply of often used medicins that they can sell.
Perhaps some of the larger veterinary clinics have a separate counter where you can only get medicins for animals. If you want to map those, you might want to use a separate node and tag. But even one of the largest vet clinics in Belgium (the one from the Univ. of Ghent), does not have a separate counter and the medicins are provided by the vet or by the person where you pay for your visit. Of course, this might be different in other countries, but I haven't heard anything like that from dog owners around the world. regards m.
