Online Pet Pharmacy
The online pharmacy at Lakewood Forest Veterinary Hospital offers a convenient way for pet owners to request prescription medications for dogs and cats. By coordinating refills through your veterinary team, this service helps support continuity of care while ensuring medications align with your pet’s medical history.
Veterinary Prescription Medications Made More Convenient
Managing your pet’s medications is an important part of ongoing care, especially for chronic conditions or preventive treatments. An online veterinary pharmacy allows pet owners to request refills without needing an in-person visit every time, when appropriate and approved by a veterinarian. Access can be useful for pets managing chronic conditions, ongoing pain management, or preventive medications such as flea, tick, or heartworm prevention. It may also be helpful for pet owners who prefer to plan refills in advance rather than waiting until medications run low.
At Lakewood Forest Veterinary Hospital, prescription medications are tied directly to your pet’s medical record. This helps ensure accuracy, appropriate dosing, and continuity of care for dogs and cats receiving treatment through our clinic.
Why Use a Veterinary-Supervised Online Pharmacy
Using a pharmacy connected to your veterinarian helps reduce the risk of incorrect medications, outdated prescriptions, or improper dosing. Veterinary oversight ensures prescriptions are current and suitable for your pet’s condition, age, and overall health.
This approach is especially helpful for pets taking long-term medications, parasite prevention products, or treatments that require monitoring or periodic rechecks.
What to Expect When Requesting a Refill
To request a prescription refill, your pet must have an active patient–veterinarian relationship and up-to-date exams, as required by veterinary guidelines. Some medications may require a recheck appointment or updated testing before approval.
Once reviewed, approved prescriptions are processed through the clinic’s pharmacy system, helping ensure your dog or cat continues receiving appropriate care without interruption.
