Are there any good places to buy meds online? We can get Clavamox for $12 + shipping at www.drsfostersmith.com, and our vet wants $27 a bottle. Also, is it tough getting a prescription from the vet?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I don't think pharmacies typically carry pet medications. A lot of human medications are also used for animals. For Buster, I can get Kristalose (human medication) at Costco pharmacy but it's a special order since it's rarely prescribed for people. For Cisapride, we need to pick to pick it up from a compound pharmacist because the FDA removed it from the market.Originally Posted by ozziegt
Is it normal for pharmacies to carry pet meds? Or is Kristalose also a human medicine?
I've heard of 1800petmeds delivering expired meds. Has this ever happened to you?Originally Posted by emmylou
But if you instead buy from a reputable online company that specializes in veterinary drugs, and (very important) which requires a prescription, you're getting exactly the same medications. I buy from 1-800-PetMeds and my vets are happy to provide prescriptions to be used online; they approve of the practice if it will make giving medication easier and cheaper for the owners and ensure the cats get the medication they need.
