Safety first.
At The Pet Hospitals, we want our patients to get the correct medication at the proper dosage. Because of that, we price match competitively with the major online pet pharmacies. Online medications can be gray market products, so we will always price match to keep your pet safe. When it comes to your pet’s health and safety, please don’t guess with medication.

Does Pet Insurance Cover Medication?
Most pet insurance providers cover pet medications as long as the illness or disease is included in the plan and a licensed veterinarian prescribes them. Some commonly prescribed pet medications that may be covered in the insurance plan include antibiotics to fight bacterial infections, corticosteroids to reduce inflammation, and antiparasitic meds to treat threadworms or roundworms.
Routine medications, such as flea and tick treatments or heartworm prevention, may not be covered. Medications for cosmetic procedures, microchipping, and medications for preexisting conditions may also not be covered. Review your insurance plan to determine what type of prescription medications are included.
Why You Shouldn’t Order Medication for Pets Online
Avoid ordering your pet’s medicines from an online pharmacy that doesn’t ask for a prescription — this is usually a red flag. Ordering your pet’s prescriptions from pharmacies that know your pet and prioritize your pet’s safety are the best ways to get approved medicine. If you don’t have a prescription and you are searching online for pet medication with undiagnosed symptoms, please bring your furry friend to see our licensed veterinarians, who can give a thorough exam to determine the best treatment.
Try also to avoid a pet pharmacy that claims to sell unapproved products, as this is illegal. Your pets could also be at risk if they take medications not prescribed by a veterinarian. At The Pet Hospitals, we only dispense approved medications and ensure your pets’ health and safety. Our system also lets you view your pet’s medical records to reduce or eliminate mistakes regarding their meds.
How Do You Keep Your Pets Safe on Medication?
Always follow the veterinarian’s instructions; never change the prescription in any way. Know what the medications are for and what side effects to watch for. If you notice an adverse medication reaction, consult a veterinarian immediately. Avoid buying over-the-counter medicines without consulting with your vet. Most importantly, follow the label directions. Talk to the vet if you have questions.
