Prescription Medication Policy

Please be aware that South Carolina state law and veterinary practice law mandates that we MUST have a client-patient relationship before we can dispense prescription medications. This means that we must see you and your pet yearly for a physical examination. This makes perfect sense – we need to know the age, health, diet, medications, etc., that your pet is using before we can simply "guess" at the wellness or illness of the pet. You can't get medications for yourself by simply waking up your local pharmacist and requesting whatever you want, can you?

In addition to an examination, we must have a current or yearly heartworm test for your pet to continue dispensing heartworm medications. We will be glad to call in a prescription to any pharmacy when these criteria are met. Medications bought over the Internet are not considered "doctor approved" and guarantees (e.g., a negative heartworm status) will not be honored so that treatment will be paid by the client, not the company.
