Written Prescriptions

You may obtain category V prescription only medicines (POM-Vs) from your veterinary surgeon or you can ask for a written prescription and obtain these medicines from online pharmacies instead. Your veterinary surgeon may prescribe POM-Vs only for animals under his or her care. A written prescription may not be appropriate if your animal is an in-patient or immediate treatment is necessary. You will be informed, on request, of the price of any medicine that may be prescribed for your animal. The general policy of this practice is to re-assess an animal requiring repeat prescriptions every six months, but this may vary with individual circumstances.

We request clients to allow 48 hours’ notice when ordering repeat prescriptions and food.
