Online Pharmacy Information
We have all seen the commercials for online pet pharmacies selling medications at unbelievable prices. But are those medications safe and guaranteed? Is it too good to be true? Many pet owners are trying to address rising pet care costs by turning to online pharmacies, but every owner must be aware that in doing so, they may be doing more harm than good.

Most pet medications purchased at third party sellers (i.e. online pharmacies) are not guaranteed by the manufacturer. What does this mean for you and your pet? If your pet has an adverse affect to the medication, or the medication does not work, the manufacturer will not pay for treatment. Some pharmacies will offer their own guarantee, but many times it comes with restrictions and usually will not cover the entire cost of treatment. For example, a reimbursement of $500 towards heartworm treatment is only about 1/3 of the actual cost of the treatment. The pet owner then becomes responsible for the remaining amount.  

For additional information regarding buying medications from online pharmacies, visit the FDA Consumer Updates page or the AVMA Public Resources page.

At Charlottesville Veterinary Hospital, we want to make sure pet owners have all the facts to make an informed decision when purchasing their pets medications. Besides offering an online pharmacy, we also stock most of the medications your pets need in our hospital, all of which are fully guaranteed by the drug manufacturer. In addition, we are happy to provide pet owners with a written prescription that can be used at the pharmacy of their choice. 

Feel free to contact our office if you have any questions regarding your pets medications.
