About Pet Health Pharmacies
Pet health pharmacies are places where pet medications can be purchased online. These pharmacies deal only with pet medications. Many times it is less expensive to order medications from a pet pharmacy than it is to purchase it from the veterinarian's office. This is especially true for medications used over an extended period of time.

Generic drugs for pets are less expensive and just as effective as brand-name drugs. Pet health pharmacies can help find a generic equivalent to a brand-name prescription. Consult a veterinarian if there are any doubts.
Choosing a Pet Health Pharmacy
-
Every pet health pharmacy should show that they are members of the Better Business Bureau, Chamber of Commerce or Authorize.net. Verify the membership before making a purchase. Ask a veterinarian for a reference.
