You know, you can order just about anything off the Internet these days, including medicine for your pets–many online pharmacies will even let you order without a prescription. But before choosing an online pharmacy, the best advice is, “Buyer beware!” Purchasing pet meds from sites that make it so easy is appealing, but isn’t the best solution for your four-legged friend.
There are dangers to ordering from sites that don’t require prescriptions. Some online sites may claim they will prescribe medicine after one of the veterinarians on their staff “evaluates” the form filled out by the pet parent, but a veterinarian should always physically examine an animal to properly diagnose and determine the appropriate therapy. Two of the most commonly ordered drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and heartworm preventatives can both be dangerous if there isn’t any professional involvement. You may also run the risk of receiving medicine that hasn’t been FDA approved.
