Managing your pet's health, especially when they require ongoing medication, can feel like a lot to juggle. At Pet Circle, we believe that providing essential care should be as stress-free as possible. Our online pharmacy is designed to work alongside your local veterinarian to ensure your pet gets the exact treatment they need, exactly when they need it.
Why Regular Vet Visits are Non-Negotiable
Before a prescription can be filled, a professional diagnosis made by your pet’s veterinarian is essential. Many health issues in pets go unnoticed until they become serious. Regular vet check-ups are the most important part of keeping your pet healthy for several reasons:
- Early Detection: Regular vet visits allow your vet to catch potential health problems early, often before your pet shows outward signs of illness. We recommend scheduling visits at least once a year for general health checks. For pets with chronic health conditions or those on long term medication more regular vet visits are necessary.
- Up-to-Date Care: These visits are the perfect opportunity to update vaccinations, parasite protection and review your pet's nutritional or wellness needs.
- Prescription Accuracy: Your vet must examine your pet to accurately prescribe medications and determine if any ongoing refills are appropriate.
Pet Circle Pharmacy Works With Your Vet
The Pet Circle Pharmacy isn't a replacement for your local vet; rather, we are a partner in your pet’s healthcare team. Once your vet has diagnosed a condition and provided a written prescription, we step in to handle the fulfilment and delivery.
Our pharmacy stocks a comprehensive range of vet-approved medications for dogs, cats, and other pets, helping you stay on top of their care affordably.
Specialised Compounded Medications
Sometimes, a standard pill just won't work. For example the tablet may be too large for a tiny kitten, or your dog refuses to swallow capsules or maybe you have a bird or rabbit that needs a special flavoured medicine. That’s why we offer compounded medications. These can be customised to your pet's specific needs, including:
- Smaller, precise doses.
- Flavoured liquids to make administration easier.
- Alternative formats like transdermal gels or creams.
If the pharmacists need to clarify any details on your script, we’ll reach out to your vet directly! Pet Circle Pharmacy has dedicated processes to get those answers quickly, ensuring your pet’s order is prepared as fast as possible. It’s just our way of giving you peace of mind while we get the medication headed your way.
How the Process Works: Quick & Simple
Getting your pet's medication delivered is a straightforward process designed to save you time.
- Request a Script: During your pet's check-up, ask your vet for a written prescription.
- Upload and order the Medication: Upload a clear photo of the script to our website and select the medication/s you need for your pet to place your order.
- Post a Hard Copy of the Script: While we review your script online you can use our free postage service to send the original hardcopy to our pharmacists.
Expert Review and Delivery: Experienced pharmacists process the prescription, prepare the medication, and ship it directly to your home.
What About When The Medication Runs Out?
Not to worry! The pharmacists will keep your repeats on file. Just select "Prescription on File" on our website, and we’ll dispatch your order fast - leaving you with more time to enjoy life with your pet!
Tips To Make Medicating Your Pet Easier
- Hide tablets and capsules in a tasty, chewy treat to disguise the flavour
- Conceal liquid medications with a creamy treat - this can work really well for cats
- Flavoured medications - many medications come in already flavoured versions or many medications can be compounded into a flavour your pet will enjoy
Check if there is another format available - with Pet Circle Pharmacy’s Compounding Service many medications can be made into a cream for topical application for pets that are difficult to give oral medications to
