Prescription and Pharmacy Policy
At AniMed Animal Hospital, your pet’s health and safety guide every prescription decision. To help ensure medications are authentic, properly handled, and appropriate for your pet’s needs, we fill prescriptions through our hospital pharmacy and approved online store.
If you would like to use another pharmacy, you may request a written prescription for your pet. A current veterinarian-client-patient relationship is required before prescriptions can be authorized.
A Message from Our Team
We understand that pet owners may have preferred ways to purchase medications. Our team will always respect your ability to request a written prescription.
When medications are filled through AniMed Animal Hospital or our online store, we can better support your pet’s care from prescription to follow-up. Our goal is to make the process clear, convenient, and focused on your pet’s well-being.
Ways to Fill Your Pet’s Prescription
- At Our Hospital: Many commonly prescribed medications are available for pickup at AniMed Animal Hospital.
- Through Our Online Store: Order approved medications, prescription diets, parasite prevention, and other pet health products for home delivery.
- With a Written Prescription: Written prescriptions are available upon request for eligible patients with a current exam and veterinary-client-patient relationship.
Why We Follow This Policy
- Medication Confidence: Products from our hospital and approved online store come from trusted veterinary supply channels.
- Proper Handling: Some medications require specific storage and shipping conditions. We can verify these standards through our established sources.
- Support When Questions Arise: If a medication needs to be changed, refilled, or reviewed, our team can access the prescription record quickly.
