When it comes to your pet’s health, you do not want to take a risk. Your pet’s medications and prescriptions are a major part of keeping your pet as healthy as they can be. So, why are you using a big-box pharmacy or a 1-800-pet pharmacy? When you use your vet to fill your pet’s prescriptions, you are investing in your pet’s wellbeing, the local economy, and more.
What should pet owners consider when choosing a pharmacy to handle your pet’s medications?
1. Will You Have Access to Support If Needed?
If you have questions about side effects, dosages, or if a certain response is normal, most big-box pharmacies aren’t equipped to answer these questions regarding animals. And those 1-800-numbers are skilled in logistics and fulfillment, but cannot give you advice on your pet’s health.
At South Hyland Pet Hospital, we know your pet’s health history and will happily answer any questions you may have about your pet’s prescription. We can also provide your pet with follow-up care if needed.
2. Are the Medications Handled Properly?
Many medications need to be kept at safe temperatures and handled gently. They also expire. When ordering your pet’s prescriptions, you want to know that they have not exceeded temperature recommendations and come from a reputable source.
Whether you order your pet’s prescription from us online or in-person, you can rest assured that your pet’s medicine has been handled with care and is not expired.
3. The Big Guys Aren’t the Only Ones with Door Delivery and Perks
You no longer have to get in your car to receive your pet’s prescription from us. We offer online ordering, so your pet’s medication (and other supplies) can be delivered safely to your doorstep. We also offer free shipping on orders over $38 and a convenient “EasyDoseIt” Program, a subscription service that automatically sends you your pet’s medication at an interval of your choice.
