Prescription Savings

Did you know many human pharmacies can fill pet prescriptions? If your cat is prescribed a common medication (like antibiotics or pain relief), it may be cheaper to fill it at a regular pharmacy using a discount card.

  • Ask for a Written Script: Ask your vet for a paper prescription instead of buying directly from the clinic.
  • Use GoodRx: Check GoodRx for Pets to compare prices at local pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, etc.).
  • Costco/Sam's Club: Their pharmacies often have very low prices for members (and sometimes non-members).
