Protecting your pet from parasites is a year-round priority. During your Vetster appointment, you can discuss preventive care with your veterinarian to determine the best plan for your pet’s specific needs.
Prescriptions and professional consultation
During your Vetster appointment, the vet will assess your pet’s health history, lifestyle, and local environment. If the veterinarian determines that a prescription medication is appropriate and safe for your pet, they can authorize a prescription during the call.

Frequently asked questions
Is a prescription always guaranteed? No. A veterinarian must establish a valid Veterinary-Client-Patient Relationship (VCPR) and determine that the medication is medically necessary and safe for your pet before prescribing.
Do I have to use VetsterRx? While VetsterRx is the most seamless way to receive your medications, you are always welcome to request that the prescription be sent to a pharmacy of your choice.
Can I get flea and tick meds if I live outside the US? Prescription regulations and fulfillment options vary by region. Your veterinarian will discuss the specific options available in your province or country during the appointment. Pet parents in Canada may fulfill prescriptions through their local or online pharmacy.
Tip: Before your appointment, have your pet's current weight, medications, and any previous reaction to parasite preventives ready to share with the vet.
