FAQs

How do I get a veterinary prescription for my pet in the UK?

To get a veterinary prescription, you’ll need to visit your vet, who will assess your pet and determine if prescription medication is necessary. If medication is required, your vet can issue a written prescription, which you can use to purchase the medication from a pharmacy or an approved online retailer. At Weldricks Pet Pharmacy, we offer an online vet prescription service.

Can I buy my pet’s prescription medication online?

In the UK, you can buy prescription medications for your pet from registered online pharmacies. Once you have a valid prescription from your vet, you simply upload or send it to the pharmacy when placing your order. This can often be a more cost-effective option compared to buying directly from a vet’s practice. Always ensure that the online pharmacy is licensed and reputable before making a purchase.

How long is a veterinary prescription valid for?

The validity of a veterinary prescription depends on the medication and the vet’s instructions. Most prescriptions for ongoing conditions, such as arthritis or skin allergies, are valid for up to six months. However, prescriptions for controlled drugs (such as strong painkillers) are usually only valid for 28 days. Always check the details on your prescription and order your pet’s medication in good time.

Can I use the same prescription multiple times?

If your vet has written a repeat prescription, you can use it multiple times until the allowed quantity has been dispensed. Some long-term medications allow for multiple refills, while others require a new prescription each time. The vet will indicate on the prescription whether it is for a single use or if it includes repeats.

Where can I get my pet’s vet prescription filled in the UK?

You can have your pet’s prescription filled at Weldricks Pharmacy, where we offer a wide range of veterinary medicines at competitive prices. Simply upload your prescription when placing an order online, and we’ll handle the rest, delivering your pet’s medication quickly and conveniently to your door.
