We highly recommend specific internet pharmacies, including MY VET ONLINE, and VETCENTRIC, should you want to pursue other sources for medications.Fees charged from these pharmacies may be more or LESS than Pet Meds Express and other internet retailers (check shipping fees, etc.), and manufacturer warantees will be honored through these pharmacies.
The following pertains to prescription requests for internet prescription requests:
Clients will be permitted one free prescription per pet per six months. Since we do not deal directly with these retailers, you will need to do the following:
1. pick up your prescription at the hospital
2. send this prescription to to the internet retailer yourself
3. communicate about shipment of medications directly with the retailer. We will not be involved in shipping problems, product failures, client satisfaction issues, product warantees, or any issues which arise as a result of purchase from Pet Meds Express and other internet retailers.
4. should your pet have a health problem arising from any medications obtained from these sources, please be aware that many of these products, including heartworm medication, flea and tick medication, and many other medications, are intended for distribution and sale exclusively through Licensed Veterinarians.
As such, all manufacturer warantees for effectiveness and safety are voided when these products are purchased through other, non- approved channels.We are concerned for your pet's safety, first and foremost. Counterfeit medications have appeared on the internet on several occasions (remember all of the recent health problems associated with altered and counterfeit medications in the world in the past few years. These are valid concerns for both human physicians, and Veterinarians. A reliable and genuine source for medications, obtained through proper distribution channels, can help to ensure that the medications we prescribe are effective and safe).
4. Additional prescription requests through a local pharmacy, Myvetonline, Vetcentric, and the hospital are at no charge to our clients. Additional requests for prescriptions through these other internet retailers will carry an administrative fee of $6, to offset our administrative costs.
We hope you will check the FDA websites for information on recent government sanctions and fines of Pet Meds Express and other internet retailers to understand our reluctance to recommend these retailers for your pet's medications.
