Dr. Coldiron does not support online pet pharmacies, and does not openly write prescriptions for medications obtained online!
THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU PURCHASE PRESCRIPTION
MEDICATIONS FOR YOUR PET FROM AN UNKNOWN!!!
Facts you should know:
-
Internet Pharmacy prices are usually competitive, but shipping and handling costs often offset any substantial savings.
-
Many Internet products are packaged overseas, which can complicate dosing in some cases. Often instructions are not in English, and the Poison Control number is likely to be incorrect.
-
The products available online may be out of date or not stored properly.
-
Client's are not eligible for free dosages or rebates.
-
The product doesn't qualify for manufacturer guarantees.
-
The Veterinarian who writes the prescription has all the medical liability for any pharmaceutical complications.
-
Consumers should now be aware of counterfeit products that are available online.
-
Internet Pharmacies have been penalized heavily for illegal pharmaceutical activities and are still being investigated for additional ongoing multiple infractions.
-
Many avian, reptilian, and other exotic species must receive special formulations of medication in order to be treated appropriately and adequately. The doctors at Stoneridge Animal Hospital will make sure that your pet, no matter how exotic, is dosed appropriately. We have yet to find an online pharmacy that will "compound" the appropriate medications exactly the way they need to be "compounded".
-
Wouldn't you rather see revenues from purchased prescription products directed to the facility that is responsible for the well-being and professional medical care of your pet, instead of some corporate internet overnight enterprise having shareholders and profit at the center of their concerns? Stoneridge Animal Hospital always answers the telephone with a caring attitude. Try calling an internet pet med retailer the next time you have a parasite question, medicine dosing concern, or notice an adverse reaction to prescribed medication. Support the local veterinarians that serve you, the community, and your pet. They deserve your support. Their well-being is "well-being" for your pet.
