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
