I just won’t through this at a national chain for kitty meds.
I even showed pictures of said kitty from my iPhone to pharmacist to prove it was for a kitty and not a human child.
I guess now we will need canine/feline birth certificates to get meds for our critters
for the ping list.
You could always run them for national office if they don't.
The collective shouldn’t pay for pet care expenses. I’m disappointed but not surprised that it does.
I went to COSTCO and got the cat’s medication no problem but,
I am not under the socialist Romney care in Mass.
Where do I live? Freekin socialist Commiefornia.
I suppose it’s all a matter of time.

Just make up a birthday!
We always get our pet meds from the vet. Our vet is very reasonable with pricing. Our dogs go home with the meds they need. Sometimes they are given a shot while still at the vet office and then sent home with pills or liquids.
If you have other animals, I think you need a new vet.

Same here. I love our vet, she’s fantastic!
We have to pick up prescriptions for my MIL who is in assisted living. They treat us like we’re drug addicts looking to steal drugs.
That conversation is a fine example of what behavioral scientists such as John D. Steinbruner call “grooved thinking,” the inability to think outside of standard operating procedures, which is especially prevalent among bureaucrats.
My Cairn Terrier is diabetic. We get his Humulin at CVS and pay full price. It has jumped from around $90 to $110 dollars per bottle. (Thank goodness it lasts him about two months). The needles and alcohol preps are also paid out of pocket.
Islamists consider dogs to be “impure” and shun them.
Where did you get that in the article? I have pet meds filled at CVS and pay full price.
My wife and I are customers of this CVS store and get our prescriptions there through Medicare and Tricare, the latter the military retiree plan.
I've almost always gotten meds from my vet until my dogs have come down with old age/chronic problems. Vets are small businesses. They can't invest a lot of capital into drugs that have an expiration date. Common drugs like antibiotics, prednisone, etc. can be bought in bulk and shelved. Glaucoma medicine, probably not as much demand. It doesn't make them a bad vet because they can't warehouse rarely used drugs. The problem is not at the vet's office.
Is it possible the pharmacy thought the prescription was for them? Just wondering.
My wife’s sister’s dog got histoplasmosis and needed a frighfully expensive drug. My wife, a PA was able to get it for them for about half the price of the vet.
I don’t quite remember the details but it was all above board.
