Animals do not have the ability to "abuse" drugs like humans do, but they may develop a dependence on some of the side effects of a particular drug. The more important reason that controlled substance ratings are used in veterinary medicine is because of the risk of substance abuse by the veterinary staff and members of the public who may seek out veterinary controlled substances. Veterinary clinics are common sources of burglaries
by those trying to gain access to controlled substances. The same rules for safe storage of controlled substances apply whether the drug is used in a veterinary or human setting. Veterinary clinic break-ins, including those in which safes are taken because they are easier to take than open, are being seen in increasing numbers.
