Prescription Medications and Refills
Plum Creek Veterinary Hospital has a fully-stocked pharmacy on site for your convenience. Please understand that state and federal laws prohibit us from dispensing prescription medication without seeing the patient. Additionally, federal law will not allow us to accept returned medications.
Sometimes we will need to “compound” medication for your pet. This means that the dosage your pet needs, or perhaps the flavor he / she desires, is not available in a commercial form. We can order compounded medications through a third-party compounding pharmacy for you, and these can usually be delivered to your door overnight.
Many patients' families would like to order prescription medications online. Although this is not always a bad idea, the difficult part is deciphering which online pharmacies are trustworthy and reputable. If you wish to purchase prescription medications online, we highly recommend you read “Purchasing Pet Drugs Online: Buyer Beware”, produced by the FDA, to learn how to chose an online pharmacy. Please ask one of our team members if you have questions about an online pharmacy.
At Plum Creek Veterinary Hospital, we make it easy for you to choose an online pharmacy. We are partnered with VetCentric, a reputable, trustworthy pharmacy accessible at your fingertips here on our website. Ask one of our team members to learn more.
