Can the veterinarian prescribe medication for my pet?

Updated over a month ago


Veterinarians can prescribe medications or therapeutic diets for your pet if they determine it’s in your pet’s best interest and they are legally allowed to do so. This varies based on federal, state, and provincial laws and regulations. Please note that telemedicine services, including the diagnosis and prescribing of medications, are only available to residents of the U.S. and Canada.
