For a veterinarian to prescribe medication, your pet must have received an exam within the last 12 months and had any relevant blood work done, as well. We can provide medication if recommended by our veterinarians, either in person or through our
online pharmacy. Buying from a different online pharmacy comes with risks. Some have sold counterfeit or expired medications, posing a danger to pets, and there’s no guarantee that the medications they sell have been properly manufactured or stored.
Buying from a different online pharmacy also means that, for example, if your pet gets heartworm disease while using the preventative product as directed, the manufacturer will not cover the cost of treatment since they cannot guarantee that a product purchased from a different online pharmacy was indeed their product.
Many pet medications’ manufacturers will only sell their products to veterinarians. Additionally, to avoid competition with other online pharmacies, many veterinary drug manufacturers offer special discounts only available through veterinarians, which usually makes the price comparable since online pharmacies cannot offer manufacturer specials.
Be cautious and research before you decide to use a different online pharmacy. Ensure it meets the quality and safety standards provided by veterinary or local pharmacies, or avoid the risk entirely and
purchase through our clinic.
You can find more information on risks associated with online pharmacies on the
American Veterinary Medical Association website.
