In the last several years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of on-line pharmacy warehouses. We choose not to participate with these companies as they cannot guarantee how the products are being purchased, stored, and transported.

When you purchase your medicines through your veterinarian, the manufacturer guarantees the effectiveness and safety of the product. If instead you purchase these products through other sources, the manufacturers may not guarantee their effectiveness or safety. Some of these on-line medicine warehouses are purchasing their products from Europe or Australia and not using United States FDA approved products. If you purchase these products through an on-line warehouse and your animal has a problem with the medicine, they will tell you to contact your veterinarian and cannot offer any medical advice. Whereas, if these products are purchased through your veterinarian, we are more than happy to talk to you about the product’s safety, administration, side-effects, and toxicities.

Because we understand how hard it sometimes is to visit our hospital, we are now offering our own on-line pharmacy using our own medicines that can be delivered to your door.
