What happens when your alpaca needs medication, but you don’t have a veterinarian-client-patient relationship in place? A VCPR is more than paperwork. It’s the foundation of responsible herd health, emergency care, and access to important medications that now require veterinary oversight. Learn why every alpaca owner should establish a relationship with a veterinarian before an emergency happens, and how that partnership can support your herd for years to come.
Many people are drawn to raising alpacas because it is a business the whole family can take part in. Alpacas have soft, padded feet and a generally calm, curious nature. While proper handling remains important, these traits make them manageable livestock for youth working alongside experienced adults.
