Home Delivery

We're all trying to save money.  Finding cheaper ways to get everything done seems to be on people's minds, and why not?  If you can get the same products at a cheaper price, you should go for it. 
However, online medications are a concern for us, not because of the loss of revenue, but because of the possibility of identity theft and counterfeit medications.  Even if the packaging looks exactly the same, that doesn't mean the product is.  If people can do something as complex as counterfeit money and get away with it, they can certainly counterfeit a Frontline box or bottle of Rimadyl.  The FDA put this article on their website last year, and the PDF document alongside the article is really helpful.
There are safe choices for getting medications sent to your house. VetSource is a home delivery service through Webster Veterinary, which is the nation's 2nd leading distributor to veterinary clinics.  It's not a typical online pharmacy, because you are buying directly from our hospital supplier.  You can always get to the site through our website, and click on PetNet.
If you want to buy from a different supplier, we will give you a paper prescription to send to the company yourself.   We highly recommend checking out the list of pharmacies that are Vet-VIPPS accredited.  These online pharmacies must provide information to the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy in order to be accredited by Vet-VIPPS, a program that assures that the drugs being sold are safe.  It's a short list - only 9 pharmacies.
The bottom line is just be careful.  If you doubt the authenticity of your medication that was bought online, contact the company, and don't buy from them again.
