If you are purchasing meds for man’s best friend, the following tips are sure to help save you time and money.
Beware of the ads touting “discount meds; no prescription required.” Would you give your child a drug just to get a discount? Don’t give your dog one either.
Look for a website that is located in your country. Sometimes when you order from out of the country sites your order never arrives or when it does the medicine is already out-of-date or counterfeit.
Be sure the site you choose asks for a prescription from your vet.
It may sound like a money and time saver to order online; but, check with your vet first. Saving a little time and money isn’t work endangering your pet’s health.
See if your vet will recommend an online site for you. Remember, your vet would prefer selling to you; but, most will recommend an online site if you ask.
Steer clear of websites that offer to evaluate your dog’s condition over the phone or via email. Would you want a cyber physical? Fido doesn’t want one either.
Remember, there are many websites that sell quality pet medication; but some don’t, they are in it for the money only so be careful who you deal with online. If you find a site you feel comfortable with, do a little checking prior to ordering. See if they have a good standing online and also check some testimonials.
If it’s time for your dog’s heartworm meds don’t forget they need a blood test either prior to beginning these meds or if they are getting a refill. They can’t get a blood test online. You will have to take your pet to the vet to get the blood test and picking up their prescription.
Use common sense, if the offer looks too good to be true, look for another place. If you buy low quality drugs for your dog you are taking a chance with their current and future health. Better safe than sorry. Buying dog drugs on-line is safe and convenient but it does take some research. Do your homework and you can rest assured your pup will love you for it.
