Our clients always have the option of having a prescription filled at an Internet pharmacy. However we do not recommend using their services because of questionable ethics. Products you order from the on-line pharmacies are not guaranteed by the manufacturers. Manufacturers do not sell to these pharmacies, therefore, the products' point of origin is unknown. For the well being of your pet it is our recommendation that you purchase medications from a Veterinarian or reputable local pharmacy. If you need a prescription refilled at any time, a phone call to our office or e-mail to our website will have it ready within a short time frame. If you prefer we can drop your prescription in the mail.

CONVENIENCE:

Using an Internet pharmacy means a delay in getting your medication. It typically takes 1-2 days for the on-line pharmacy to contact us and process the prescription, then there is a 2-5 day shipping time. Our prescriptions are processed the same day.

SAFETY:

All prescription medication purchased from our hospital has been inspected and approved by the FDA and manufactured and packaged according to U.S. government regulations. Medications purchased on-line may have been purchased outside the United States and have different strengths and labeling than U.S. products.

PRICE:

Internet Pharmacies are not always the cheapest source for medication. Our price for most items is typically less than that of most Internet Pharmacies. In addition, some medications are temperature sensitive and require next day or 2nd day air delivery, which adds to the cost.

REBATES:

Our veterinary practice passes on all manufacturers' promotions and rebates resulting in greater savings.

INSURANCE:

Pet Insurance companies require that all prescriptions be FDA approved. If you have pet health insurance you may be reimbursed on medications when purchased from a legal on-line pharmacy. You will be required to provide a copy of your veterinarian's prescription order and a copy of the Internet pharmacy's invoice. When you purchase a prescription from our hospital there is no additional paperwork.
