Press Release Compouding for Australian Pet Medicines

 

Even in this low interest environment, Australians know the power of compound interest. 

We all remember the lessons our parents taught us about how compound interest can make us rich (of course, it was much easier back in the 80s when bank interest rates rocketed to over 15%).  

Even with interest rates at all time historical lows, one Australian pet business is seeing amazing growth, but it’s a different sort of compounding that's creating the interest this time. 

Already a leader in filling discount veterinary scripts for Aussie pet owners, cutting edge online pet pharmacy PetScripts.com.au now also offers a compounding service to those dog and cat owners whose veterinarians have written prescriptions for custom or compounded drugs. 

Whether it's unique dosage forms like transdermal gels, troches and chewies, combinations of compatible veterinary medicines, or vet meds that aren't commercially available, PetScripts'  pharmacists use the latest veterinary pharmacy knowledge and state-of- the-art technology to prepare customized medications to meet a pet's specific needs. Compounding medications are a big plus for owners of difficult pets that won't swallow tablets or very large or small pets that can't take standard sized pills.

And with Australian vets writing more and more prescriptions for compounded veterinary drugs, PetScripts has reported that interest in its online service at https://www.petscripts.com.au/compounding-pharmacy/ is soaring.

"Since we launched our specialist pet pharmacy last year, we've been helping Australian animal lovers save money on veterinary prescriptions for leading brand pet medications like Carprofen, Vetmedin and Apoquel" says founder and chief veterinarian Dr Mark Perissinotto," but since we've included veterinary compounding for products containing actives like Amiodipine, Calcitriol and Fluoxetine last month, we've seen visits and orders grow at an exponential rate". 

Perhaps that's not surprising given reports of a rapidly growing willingness amongst Australian vets to prescribe compounded medicines. According to one industry insider, it's estimated that the market for compounding medicines for dogs and cats in Australia is growing at 80-110% per annum.  

Dr Perissinotto attributes the success of PetScripts.com.au to some straightforward but sometimes overlooked fundamentals. "Outstanding customer service is the key" he says. " From our pharmacists, right through to our assistants and customer service staff and our IT and marketing team,  we know how much our customers trust us to deliver the highest grade medicines, quickly, efficiently and at a competitive price and we work damn hard to deliver." 

By using only Australian registered pharmacists based right here in Australia and only premium grade fully government approved raw ingredients, and constantly working to improve systems and efficiency, PetScripts.com.au is confident that it will keep and grow its position as the leader in Australian veterinary pharmacy online.

About PetScripts: PetScripts.com.au is an online service allowing Australian pet owners who hold a valid prescription from an Australian veterinarian to order prescription pet medicines from Australian registered pharmacists. For more information visit www.PetScripts.com.au

Aussie Dog Owners in the Know are Saving Hundreds Each Year! (But is it Legal?)

We can all agree that owning a dog has it's ups and downs right? Nothing makes the heart leap quite as much as a wagging tail, a smiling canine face and a slobbery doggy kiss (even with doggy breath)  when you arrive home from a hard day at work. And while it might seems that nothing can make your heart drop more than getting in to the house to find your favourite couch torn and chewed, for too many Aussie pet owners, the real heart wrenching times unfortunately often come with an unexpected visit to the vet clinic.

The dispair of hearing that your loved dog has a serious illness, the relief when the vet tells you that with modern veterinary medicines the illness can be cured or at least managed, and then the fealings of concern when you start to think about how much its going to cost to fill these ongoing pet prescriptions, is a roller coaster of emotions that unfortunately is experienced by hundreds of pet parents every week all over Australia.

And while reliable and effective dog medicines never come cheap, hundreds of Australian dog owners have found a way to reduce the cost and lessen the anxiety that goes with it, by sourcing discount prescription dog drugs over the internet.

With some Australian dog owners spending thousands of dollars a year on common prescription medicines for dogs like Vetmedin, Fortekor and Caninsulin, buying cheap prescription dog products  from an online pet pharmacy can save hundreds of dollars each year.

But is it legal? and perhaps even more importantly, is it safe?

You need to be aware that quite apart from potential safety concerns, ordering prescription products from outside Australia is not legal (importing pet medicines in to Australia requires a government permit that's almost never granted to individuals for pet use), so never order pet medicines from overseas.

Luckily for those of us who own dogs we need expensive prescription animal medicines, there is a legal and safe option for buying dog prescription drugs online. Called PetScripts.com.au and launched this year by well known and well regarded Australian veterinarian Dr Mark Perissinotto, Australian dog (and cat) owners can legally buy animal prescription products, sourced right here in Australia and dispensed by Australian registered pharmacists at discount prices. And because the products PetScripts.com.au sells are Australian sourced and registered products, you know you're getting exactly the same products as you would buy directly from your vet.

To order discount pet prescription drugs from PetScripts.com.au all you need to do is get a prescription from your vet,  jump online and follow the easy order process and then post them the original prescription for your dog's medicine. An Australian pharmacist will check your prescription and dispense your order.  Don't forget to post PetScripts.com.au your prescription - its a legal requirement that the dispensing pharmacist receive the original, but PetScripts.com.au provides a "Postage Paid"address so it won't cost you a stamp.

Dr Mark Perissinotto is a pioneer of online retail of pet products in Australia. He launched Australia's first online pet health retailer back in 1999, but up until now, selling prescription products for dogs has been problematic. PetScripts.com.au teams Dr Mark's over 25+ years of veterinary experience and 17 years of online retail experience and  with carefully selected, Australian trained, Australian based, Australian qualified pharmacists, to make the online shopping experience (and online savings) available to dog owners who need to buy expensive prescription products for their pets.

"Our pharmacists and the rest of our team understand that ordering medicines for your pet online requires a high level of trust from you, and we take that trust very very seriously. " Says Dr Mark. "That's why we'll never cut corners or take risks and we'll do everything we can to help you ensure your pets have the medicines they need at an affordable price."


Remember, it is perfectly legal (and very safe) for Australian pet owners to order prescription products online if you order from an Australian Online Pharmacy and if you have a valid Australian Prescription for your pet's medicine.  If your dog needs prescription medicines, you should definitely take a look at PetScripts.com.au
