Rx Refills
From monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, to thyroid medications or prescription diets, we make it easy for you to keep your fur baby's needed prescriptions in stock!
Due to increased volume of requests and industry backorders, please allow at least 48 hours-72 hours for the request to be fulfilled. We encourage requesting refills a week before running out to prevent missed doses.
Request a refill
Requesting a medication refill is easy! We suggest downloading the PetPage App (Google Play | App Store) and using the portal to refill existing prescriptions or calling our office. Someone on our team will contact you once the prescription is ready for pick up! If an exam or further follow-up is needed before next refill, a staff member will notify you of this and discuss options so a lapse in medication is avoided. We strongly encourage requesting heart medications, insulin, thyroid medications, etc., a week before running out to prevent missed doses due to industry wide backorders.
* Our pill vials are biodegradable and compostable in efforts of being more eco-friendly.
Need an exam before next refill?
Prescription medications and prescription diets require a yearly exam by law in order to satisfy a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship (VCPR). If your fur baby hasn't been in for a while, call us so we can schedule an exam and keep your fur baby current!
​
Certain medications effect the organs when used long-term, even when labeled safe. In order to make sure we are keeping your fur baby healthy and the medication is still achieving it's therapeutic properties at the current dose, we require regular bloodwork for continued refills. See the chart below for the most common medications (not all are included, please don't hesitate to ask your doctor for follow-up appointments).
