How to get dog prescription refills online without extra vet fees?

Your vet should be able to write you a prescription for 30 tablets with a certain amount of refills so you don't need a prescription every month. Usually the refills should be 6-12 months depending on when your vet wants to do a recheck and test some blood-work. I am not sure of the laws in the UK but in the US a vet has to provide a written prescription and a client can have it filled online or at a human pharmacy if the product is available. You could call some other vets in your area and ask about their policy and then change vets if it works out better.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! They will likely be able to refill it for you as long as they agree with that treatment plan to continue. Your best bet would be to contact them directly and check with your veterinarian. I am sure they will be more than happy to assist you and also to know that it is working well for Pablo. Have a good night!

You would need a current prescription from a veterinarian who has physically examined Duke. You can then place your order and submit the prescription. The pharmacy will then contact the veterinarian or clinic to confirm the prescription then fill the order.

This depends on the individual practice policy but most clinics will write a prescription for an ongoing condition which they have diagnosed. Regular check ups are required for them to monitor the correct dosage and any possible side effects also and this will be a condition of repeat scripts in many clinics

Hello. I am so sorry, but veterinarians are prohibited from prescribing over the internet. If Auggie has been seen recently by your veterinarian ( in the past 6 months ), they may agree to prescribe a short course of anti-inflammatory medications until he can receive a proper examination. All you can do is ask. Otherwise, try to keep him quiet & do not let him jump. Even after he is started on pain medication, you will need to curtail his activity so that he does not further injure his joints. Good luck & thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Yes, veterinarians can refuse to refill prescriptions. I realize that this can be frustrating, but some medications can have side effects or cause organ damage, requiring regular monitoring, often in the form of blood tests. Epiphen (phenobarbital), for example, can greatly impact the liver and the levels of medication within the bloodstream must be monitored to assure that the medication stays at a safe and effective therapeutic level. In the US, we also must have examined a pet within the past 12 months in order to legally prescribe any medication - including some flea and tick preventions. I don't know what regulations may exist in the UK. It may be worth another call to your vet to determine the reasons behind the refusal to refill the medication. I hope this helps to clarify the situation and that everything gets worked out for Buckley!

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately we can not prescribe medications. The law requires a Veterinary Client Patient Relationship and to have this an in person examination of the pet is needed to prescribe medications. We are here to provide advice and support. If Laddie is sick and needs medications I recommend contacting his Veterinarian. I wish you the best!
