- We can special order medication for your pet and payment is due when the order is placed.
- We hold prescriptions for 2 weeks. Any medication left for longer than 2 weeks will be restocked. You will need to restart the prescription request process and you could experience at least a 24 hour-wait to have the medication made up again.
