A written prescription lets you shop the same treatment elsewhere. ### Delivered to your door No second trip to the practice for a refill — repeat items arrive on a schedule you set. ### UK-registered pharmacy Dispensed by a pharmacy on the GPhC register, so you get genuine UK-licensed products. ## Using your vet’s prescription online For prescription-only pet medicines you need a written prescription from your own vet — a pharmacy can then dispense exactly what they specified. 1. ### Ask your vet for a written prescription For a prescription-only pet medicine, ask the practice for a written prescription rather than the medicine itself. They may charge a small fee for writing it. 2. ### Choose a registered pharmacy Check the pharmacy is on the GPhC register and states clearly that it dispenses veterinary prescriptions. 3. ### Send the prescription and order The pharmacy checks the prescription against your pet’s details and dispenses the exact product your vet specified. ## Pet health — common questions ### Can I buy pet medicines online in the UK? Yes. UK-registered pharmacies can supply non-prescription pet products directly, and can dispense prescription pet medicines against a prescription written by your pet’s own vet. Always follow the dosing and advice for your specific animal. ### Do I need a prescription for flea and worm treatment? It depends on the product. Many routine flea, tick and worm treatments are available without a prescription after a short suitability check; stronger products may need a vet or pharmacist’s authorisation. ### Is Sanara a vet or a pharmacy? No. Sanara Health is an independent information and comparison platform. We don’t provide veterinary advice or sell pet medicines — we point you to a UK-registered pharmacy’s pet-health service. For health concerns about your animal, always speak to your vet. Not a veterinary service. For any health concern about your animal, contact your vet — in an emergency, call your nearest vet practice immediately.
