We Know: All About Pet Medications and Buying Online Why buy pet medications online? There are several reasons why you may choose to purchase pet medications online. The primary reason is that they can be cheaper than the same medication purchased through your veterinarian or pharmacist. Buying pet medications online can also be more convenient than returning to your vet's office or to the pharmacy. In some areas, pet medications may not be as readily available and ordering them online means you can have them shipped to you. Another reason to buy pet medications online is that in some cases it can be faster to receive them than waiting for a prescription to be filled by your vet or pharmacist, especially when overnight shipping is available from the online supplier. What's the process for ordering my pet's medications online? Reputable online suppliers will require a vet's prescription or the vet's verbal approval for under-the-counter medications. If they don't require either, don't give them your business. If they're unscrupulous enough to not require a prescription, you can't trust the quality of their products, either. Discuss your interest in purchasing your pet's medications online with your veterinarian. Explain your reasons for wanting to purchase them online and your vet should understand. They may be able to make recommendations for reputable companies. In most cases, their primary concern is for the health and welfare of your animal, and less so in making money from the medications they prescribe. Tips to Buying Pet Medications Online When ordering pet medications online, consider doing the following: Make sure you're ordering from a secure website. You should see both a closed padlock at the bottom of the browser and an "s" at the beginning of the URL. In other words, it should say "https" instead of the usual "http" at the beginning of the website's address. This helps to ensure your financial information won't be stolen by a third-party. Research the online pet medication supplier. Enter the company name in at least one search engine like Yahoo or Google. Find out what former customers say about the company and the level of their satisfaction. Track your order. You can do this through the shipping company. Request a tracking number from the online supplier if they don't automatically give you one. By logging onto the shipping company's website, you should be able to know the location of your order. Some shippers will also email you automatic updates on the status of your shipment.
