Urgent Care & Walk-ins are Welcome!
Prescription and Pharmacy Policy
Dogwood Trails Animal Hospital is committed to helping pets receive safe, reliable medications. For this reason, we provide prescription medications through our in-house pharmacy and approved online store.
Pet owners who choose another pharmacy may request a written prescription. To prescribe medication responsibly, your pet must have a current veterinarian-client-patient relationship with our hospital.
Our Commitment to Your Pet’s Care
We know every pet owner has different preferences when filling prescriptions. You may request a written prescription if you wish to purchase medication elsewhere.
Our pharmacy and online store allow us to offer a convenient option with products sourced through veterinary-approved channels. This also helps us stay involved in your pet’s treatment plan when questions or changes arise.
Prescription Filling Options
- Hospital Pharmacy: Pick up many medications directly from Dogwood Trails Animal Hospital.
- Approved Online Store: Order medications, prescription foods, preventives, and other pet care products for convenient home delivery.
- Written Prescription: Request a written prescription for an eligible patient with a current exam and veterinary-client-patient relationship.
The Purpose of Our Policy
- Trusted Products: Medications purchased through our hospital or approved online store are sourced through established veterinary distributors.
- Storage and Quality Control: Proper handling can affect a medication’s safety and performance. We can confirm these standards through our trusted supply channels.
- Clear Medical Records: Prescription information remains connected to your pet’s health record, helping our team review treatment needs efficiently.
- Responsive Follow-Up: Our team can address refill requests, dosage questions, and medication adjustments more smoothly when we manage the prescription process.
- Protection From Unverified Sources: Buying through trusted veterinary channels can help avoid products that may be counterfeit, expired, or improperly stored.
Please contact Dogwood Trails Animal Hospital if you have questions about your pet’s medication, refill needs, or prescription options.
