Some medications will require a prescription from your vet but even with paying for the prescription, the medication still (usually) works out a lot cheaper than the vet. They also do worming tablets etc at a much lower cost with free p&p on most things too.

You might be pleased to learn that from 31st October your vet can no longer charge you for writing out a prescription


There's some further info about the supply of POM in this consultation report (it's in PDF format).

I've used these guys for Frontline. They may be based in Australia but they only took a week to deliver and much cheaper than the vet.

HTH

How much do these guys charge for shipping? I can't find it anywhere on the website.

I paid £5 to ship the product to the UK.

Cheers.

https://www.animalmedicines.co.uk is another site that sells both prescription and non-prescription medicines for animals. It has quite a large range of products and free delivery.

Thanks for this site one of my three cavaliers is in the process of being diagnosed with pancreatic insufficincy (get the results monday)so this will probably come in handy depending on what they put her on its a shame they dont do the special dog food as i have already started her on that it cost me just over £8 for 6 tins

I'm assuming she's been placed on a low fat/high fibre diet such as Hills w/d prescription diet?

You can buy that much cheaper here, but it's the dried version not the tinned, which would probably be better for her anyway if she'll eat it


Just noticed they also do packs of 12 cans of wet food for £13.71, which works out cheaper than you're currently paying

They sell it here for £36.17 inc vat

She will need to get a prescription from her own vet though to be able to buy it elsewhere.

Always had good service from http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/ , previously known as "Canine Chemist"

We have a retail pharmacy and wouldn't dream of charging humans the prices quoted on this website so far, so why are animals being charged between 100-500% mark up on trade prices, when human meds are charged between 20-50%.

Therefore as a pledge to this thread, via my retail pharmacy, which has no fancy website, but deals with extensive vet meds, much at the annoyance of local vets, we would offer Xalatan at £20 including postage upon supply of a prescription.

We have previously offered the lowest price antiistamines mail order, so are now offering via our mail order service, the best vet private prescription prices. Please PM me for quotes or ring the retail shop for quotes which is 0870 950 9666. Prices may take a little time to calculate, so we will ring you back with a quote, which I believe will save anything upto 100%, as per quotes I am seeing so far.
