Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / April 2005Vet Perscriptions
I have a written perscription from my vet can anyone recomend a reliable and trustworthy online company to purchase from. I just dont want to buy bad medicine! Thank you >I have a written perscription from my vet can anyone recomend a >reliable and trustworthy online company to purchase from. I just dont >want to buy bad medicine! Thank you I've used both KV Vet www.kvvet.com and Cal Vet http://www.calvetsupply.com/ for several years. I order refrigerated delivery of cat vaccines as well as other medications and have had excellent service from both. The order takers are both knowledgeable and polite on the phone. BarB Depending on what you're getting, a lot of the same meds are given to humans just under a different name. Maybe the local humane society could tell you of an online pet pharmacy. > I have a written perscription from my vet can anyone recomend a > reliable and trustworthy online company to purchase from.

Prescriptions may be able to be filled at the local pharmacy where they get their meds in larger bulk than vets (meaning cheaper all around). What you save in shipping charges and the face to face walk in the door service may actually be worth it. Want to (maybe) save a buck or two but get your meds through the mail, go ahead. My preference is to be able to ask questions of my pharmacists or vet with meds in hand. Again, that's just my preference. -Sharon Apparently you haven't priced the arthritis medications for dogs. I had my local pharmacy price the drugs for me and they were twice what I could get them for at a pharmacy that specializes in animal meds. Out of all the places I have looked at http://www.medi-vet.com/ has the best prices.

While normally inexpensive, Rocky's vet can't beat Safeway on the cost of phenobarbital - they acknowledge this have have no problem with phoning his prescription in.  Signature--Matt.

I've seen screw ups with on-line pharmacies. As a former former pharmacy tech I realize that neighborhood pharmacies can screw up too, but it sure is a lot easier to fix than thousands of miles away. Personal preference. -Sharon >> Apparently you haven't priced the arthritis medications for dogs.

When you are looking at month after month for the lifetime of the animal, it become a matter of hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

Whether is be for myself, my child or my pet, I do not put a dollar amount on what I personally see as a safety issue. I reiterate that this is my personal preference. -Sharon |
