We get antibiotics, vaccinations and salves this way. However, since we are a farm family, our pets are larger animals and are harder to transport to the vet. Most country "farm" vets are very good about showing farm family how to do stitches and give injections. Nice for when a cow gets tangled in a fence at 3 a.m. or a neighbors dog chases down and hurts a chicken or bites a horse. We also keep a good stock here for emergencies, since those always happen on holidays or after hours for the vet. Nice way to avoid a $200 farm visit charge, and by having medication on hand we can either hold off to see the vet till he is open, or in some cases all together avoid the vet.

There are some discount drug cards that give you a significant discount on generic drugs for pets (prescription only) at any pharmacy. Here's a couple: http://www.petmedsavercard.com

Cheapest pet meds can be bought at your local feed store or Tractor Supply.

Wow! What would I do without my Thriftyfun family? If our vet will agree to write a prescription for our mastiff's antibiotic, the Thriftyfun community will have saved us more than $20 a month on that one item alone! The Rite-aid where I get my own prescriptions filled said they'd fill our mastiff's prescription and match Wal-mart's $4 price.
I also got the idea to check with our former dog food supplier (actually a feed supply store,) and they've agreed to set aside a bag of the Diamond brand dog food we used to buy. We hated leaving them to buy our food at the local Petsmart chain, and even more so since the prices just keep rising. Now that I know our former supplier will set aside a bag of dog food for us, that's about another $8 in savings. Thank you all, my Thriftyfun family! Every penny helps in these tough economic times.
