Get Pet Meds Through Your Pharmacy

RE: Get Pet Meds Through Your Pharmacy By lisa (Guest Post) I work in a pharmacy so I know that so far all the meds our dog has ever needed are way cheaper there than at the vet. I just gave my vet the pharmacy phone number and she calls them in for me, no problem. & yeah, there is no law requiring price matching. It's a courtesy that some pharmacies will do if they can afford it. Ours will not price match with big competitive chains like Walgreen's or Costco because we will lose money.

There is NO federal law requiring pharmacies to price match. Some do, but that is entirely up to the individual pharmacy or chain.

Contact The reason vets often have to charge much more is because the regular pharmacy gets a discounted price for volume. When we were in practice we often found the pharmacy charging customers LESS than we paid for the same medicine. Vets will be happy to write scrips for you to take somewhere else.

My dog requires eye drops that cost $39 at my local pharmacy in the grocery store. I ask them to check the price at Walmart or the warehouse stores and they match the price. I get them for $27. This should work for people RX as well. Posted on 08/19/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
