Vet’s Office Says Shopping Online Endangers My Pet, Won’t Approve Prescription

[Warpy]

6. That doesn't matter for my cat, the doses of most drugs are tiny

and made strictly for veterinary use. A decent, high volume online service like Petmeds.com will have enough turnover that getting expired drugs won't be an issue.

The proof for my cat came last Friday, when her blood work showed she's rock stable on teeny blood pressure and potassium pills, good for a renal failure kitty. The difference in cost is absolutely staggering.

If my vet refused to approve her prescription, I'd be looking for another vet.

However, I can see some things being used as substitutes for bringing an animal in for a yearly checkup. That's not a good idea.
