Saving on pet medications

Ask for a written prescription and compare.

4 min read

Ongoing medications can be a big part of pet costs. Comparing prices can help.

Tips

  • Ask your vet for a written prescription so you can compare pharmacies; many will provide one, and some states require it
  • Ask about generic options
  • Some human pharmacies fill pet prescriptions for common medicines
  • Buy only from licensed pharmacies; be wary of sites that don't require a prescription
  • Never give human medications without your vet's advice
