Hello, I'm just looking for people's experiences purchasing medicine for their cats online. Were you able to find it for cheap and was it the actual medicine?
It's incredible how rules vary from one country to the other (even in the same continent, and EU until a few weeks ago).I always buy online if I can. Some need a prescription from your vet who will more than likely charge you but it's a lot cheaper. I live in the UK and use the same provider, have never had a problem.
That sounds so easy. It seems the practice here is that the cat has to be examined and prescribed meds that are provided by the vet then I can pay £16 for a prescription and scan it or send a photo to the online provider. I think I may need to move near you Antonio65It's incredible how rules vary from one country to the other (even in the same continent, and EU until a few weeks ago).
Over here in Italy, vets do not charge a cent for a prescription, and if they know you and your pet, and they know what the pet needs or is taking, they can send you the prescription by email or WhatsApp, rather than walking in the practice. The prescription can be virtual, we only need a numeric code to be forwarded to the pharmacy or online store.
If I'm in a hurry and I need the med right away, I choose the local pharmacy where I can have the product I need right away if they have it on the shelf, or within 4 hours if they have to order it. Sometimes they can even give me the med, and then wait for the prescription to be sent to me.
If I can wait two or three days, I order online, which is way cheaper.
Yes V verna davies , the vet can sell you some meds, but generally they only have a few packages of the most common ones available. All the meds are easily obtainable from any pharmacy, ready at hand if they are on the shelf, or within hours if not.That sounds so easy.

Are you talking about prescripton medicine or OTC medicine?Hello, I'm just looking for people's experiences purchasing medicine for their cats online. Were you able to find it for cheap and was it the actual medicine?
