At my pharmacy, we include the person’s first name next to the last name. There is also a drop-down menu to list the new entrant as human or animal, so pets aren’t be entered in as people.
I mean, sometimes people mess up, especially when new, and they get put in as a person. That usually gets fixed by the pharmacist five minutes later unless they have a human-sounding name and not one like, “Scruffles.”
That sounds like a good policy.
I don’t know how the name was entered in the computer. On the bottle all it had was dog’s name followed by the owner’s last name.
