About article and photo reprints

VIN News Service articles, except commentaries, may be freely reprinted, provided:

• The article appears unaltered and in its entirety, without added images, hotlinks or text.
• The reprint prominently and clearly identifies the VIN News Service as the original source and provides the VIN News Service URL or a hotlink to the original article.
• This statement prominently accompanies the article: The VIN News Service is not affiliated with [insert name of your entity].

Commentaries may not be reprinted without explicit written permission. 

Photos in articles are not available for sharing with commercial entities in order to avoid the perception that the VIN News Service endorses a particular company or product. Photo reprint requests by non-commercial organizations or individuals are considered case by case.

Letters policy

We welcome timely letters about articles. Letters must be submitted exclusively to VIN News and include the author's full name and contact information. Writers of letters selected for publication will be notified. Published letters may appear on our public website and on a message board of the Veterinary Information Network, a members-only community for the profession and parent of the VIN News Service.
