Step 1
Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian. There is no way around this, as you will need a valid prescription from a vet to legally purchase your pet's prescriptions online. Be firm in letting your vet know that you are going to shop around for medication prices online. Because he probably make a small profit on medications sold, he will probably try to persuade you to purchase from him directly.

Step 2
Browse pet prescription websites for prices and availability. Consider shipping and handling as well as how long it will take to ship. If your pet needs the medications right away, you may need to have them shipped overnight, which can result in higher costs.
-
Step 3
Place your order. Make sure you have chosen the correct product. If you have any questions, most reputable online pet prescription companies will have a toll free number you can call for support.
-
Step 4
Keep your vet information handy, as you will need to input it into the computer for the prescription company to verify. Be certain you input everything correctly; if they cannot verify the prescription, it will delay your shipment while they try to contact you. Make sure you input valid credit card information as well.

Step 5
Print out a receipt for your record. This is important in case you have problems with your order, such as receiving the wrong item, not receiving the order at all or being charged the incorrect amount on your credit card statement.
