My dog takes a sedative before veterinary visits. Last week, I needed a refill but our veterinarian was all out of the small size of this medication (the larger mg. was too large to cut down to the right dose).
I did some research locally but couldn't find a human pharmacy that sold this medication. I decided to look on the web. I must admit that the array of choices is daunting. There are many places that sell pet medications. It made me skeptical that some are legitimate.
I eventually found a couple websites that I had done business with before. I also had one recommended by a relative. I noticed that some specifically state that they are certified and what states or countries that certification applies to. That made me feel a bit more comfortable. At least, that is something one can look into. I've heard all the bad news about human pharmacies. I wouldn't doubt that there are those trying to dupe pet owners too.
Do you trust online pet pharmacies? If you have to order online, how do you decide which to use? Does your veterinarian give you a list of approved websites?
