When asking for a script – our suggestions

Most vets are happy to provide a prescription to their clients, and prescriptions are requested every day.

When asking for a prescription, here are some tips to keep in mind:

They’re not obliged to write you a script on request – it’s their choice, and they may require examining your pet in person.
Sourcing affordable medicine is in the interest of the pet, and most vets will prioritise the cost and experience over personally selling the medication.
They may charge a fee for writing the script – usually between $10 and $20. In most cases, buying from PetScripts is still cheaper than buying from a vet.
If your pet is in critical need of this medicine, your vet will advise you to purchase in-clinic to avoid delays in giving it to your pet.
Vets often take comfort writing a script knowing that PetScripts uses Australian pharmacists and requires a prescription. Where there are any doubts, vets are encouraged to call PetScripts to confirm for themselves.
If your vet is unwilling to write a prescription or you feel the fee is excessive, you can raise your concerns with them. If you are still uncomfortable, you may consider seeking out another vet.

Your vet can help make the online ordering process easier. Find out more on the next step, before asking for a script.
