Buying Pet Medicine Online
-
1
Visit your pet's veterinarian to get information about, and a prescription for, the specific medication your pet needs. If the medication is not needed right away (i.e., you can wait a few days for shipping), let your doctor know you will be buying the medication online, instead of through the vet's office.
Pet medication websites also offer non-prescription medicines. Unless it is the first time buying such medications for your pet, you do not need to see a veterinarian beforehand. If it is the first time, you should see a vet to make sure you get medicine that is specific to your breed of pet.

Tips & Warnings
If you know your pet will need the medication you are buying for a long time, buying in bulk may be a good money-saving option.
Buying pet medicines online can save you money, but make sure you use a reputable source. Always consult your pet's veterinarian--even for non-prescription medication--to make sure you are getting the correct type of medication for your pet.
