Third Party Prescription Policy
(chewy, 800PetMeds, Allivet, Tractor Supply, Sam’s Club, etc.)

Please be advised if you are obtaining prescriptions outside of our pharmacy you will need a written prescription from the doctor. Due to repeated unethical conduct from outside retailers, we no longer give verbal, fax, or online authorization to third parties.

If a request for a written prescription is made outside of your appointment time, please allow up to two business days for fulfillment.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. This policy has been put in place to allow our doctors to practice in an ethical manner, putting your pet’s safety and wellbeing first regarding their prescription needs.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING YOUR PETS PRESCRIPTIONS.

Dear Clients,

For years we have worked directly with online retail pet pharmacies as a service for some of our clients. We have provided verbal approvals over the phone, as well as downloaded the retailer's self-appointed portals to approve the client-generated prescription requests online. Many of the online retailers are not being respectful of our doctor's time. In spite of our policy that it may take up to 3 business days for verification and approval, retailers are calling to obtain the doctor's immediate approval for these online client-generated prescription requests. Many retailers even request that our reception staff give approval on these prescription requests even though they are not medically or legally qualified to do so. The immediate approval of prescriptions is at times difficult because a number of requirements regarding the appropriateness of the prescription for this patient must be verified prior to its approval. Over the past year, two of the major online pet retailers have regularly lied to our clients, telling them that we are refusing to approve a medication and in the retailer’s words, “being difficult”, when in fact some of these client-generated requests have not even been received by us through the retailer's own portal!

As we continue to strive for a high level of care for our patients and clients, we find ourselves needing to implement a new policy regarding how we interact with these online retailers as well as any of the local chain pharmacies. "Beginning June 1, 2024, if you have a request for a product which requires a prescription and we do not have that product in our pharmacy, or you wish to purchase it elsewhere, you will need to obtain an actual written prescription from the Animal Health Center."

By requiring a written prescription for your medication or food requests, we are in no way dictating from whom you can purchase prescription products. You may provide your written prescription to which ever pharmacy you choose.

This new policy should prevent retailers from negatively impacting our relationship with you as a client by them making false allegations. As of June 1, 2024, the Animal Health Center will no longer work directly with online retailers by providing verbal approvals, fax approvals, or using portals for client-generated prescriptions. Exceptions to this include prescription requests for food made directly through the "Hills to Home" website, prescription requests for food made directly through the "Purina Pro-Plan Vet Direct" website and prescription requests made through the Animal Health Center's online pharmacy. We understand that for some of you this may be frustrating, and we apologize for any inconvenience that it may cause. Written prescriptions may be obtained during your pet's scheduled clinic appointment, or you may personally request a written prescription for a product by calling the Animal Health Center. Please be aware that it may take up to 2 business days for the verification and approval of a request before the written prescription is ready for pickup at the Animal Health Center.

We appreciate your understanding.
