Tips on Buying Pet Meds Online
Unfortunately, there is really no way to guarantee the quality of the drugs offered for sale online, and pets face many of the same risks as people do when drugs are purchased on the Internet, especially from an obscure or new outlet.
So here are a few tips:
# When you’re counting your savings, be sure to include shipping costs and any state tax. Ask at your vet’s office what the medication will cost. Then do some comparison-shopping online.
# Most reputable sites require a prescription from your vet. Diagnosing a pet’s condition over the Internet is as risky a proposition as diagnosing a person’s medical condition from afar.
# Find out how long it is likely to take for the medication to get to you. If the medication is something your pet needs immediately, it’s probably better not to wait.
# If you’re unsure about the quality of the outlet you want to order from, call the site’s toll-free number and ask some questions. Find out where the company is located, how long it has been in business and if it has experienced any problems with state regulators.
