To buy online pet medicationTo buy online pet medication you may need a prescription. Pet medications are available either by prescription or non-prescription.
Non-prescription or "Over the counter" means that anyone may purchase them without the advice or consent of a veterinary doctor. Therefore no prescription is needed.
A prescription medication is one that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) regulations allow them to be obtained only by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian. Therefore a prescription is needed.
You can ask your veterinarian for a written prescription in order to buy online pet medication or those from a source other than your examining veterinarian.
Veterinarians are ethically bound to provide a written prescription upon request and to document the data in your pet's medical record.
The veterinarian may ethically charge a fee for writing the prescription and that prescription writing fee can be whatever he or she chooses.
The bottom line is that the client does not have to obtain or purchase the pet medication from the examining veterinarian.
Buying your pet's prescriptions online is a great way to save money and add a little convenience to your busy life. However, it is not meant to be a replacement for visiting your local veterinarian.
At Dog-Health-and-Supply it's important to us to link pet owners only to reputable pet prescription medication providers, who sell only FDA approved products.
