Online Pharmacy Requests & Policies

Your Pet’s Safety is Our Priority

At Dacula Animal Hospital, we take your pet’s health — and your trust — very seriously. That’s why we’ve established pharmacy policies designed to protect your pet, your data, and your experience as our client.

 

What We Offer

Our in-house and online pharmacy provides:

• Preventative care products (e.g., flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives)

• Routine medications

• Long-term and chronic care prescriptions

You can conveniently purchase these items through our online pharmacy, which offers competitive pricing and reliable ship-to-home options. Many products are eligible for free shipping with autoship!

 

Our Pharmacy Policy

We do not approve prescription requests from third-party pharmacies (e.g., Chewy, 1-800-PetMeds, PetcoRx). This decision was made with great care after years of observing inconsistent practices, product sourcing concerns, and privacy issues.

We have chosen to partner only with pharmacies that:

• Maintain strict standards for medication handling and safety

• Do not sell or compromise client data

• Share our values around patient health, integrity, and security

Your trust matters to us. We will never sell your personal information — and we believe you deserve that same standard from everyone involved in your pet’s care.

 

Need to Use a Different Pharmacy?

If you prefer to fill your pet’s prescription at an outside pharmacy, we’re happy to provide a written prescription that you may take to the pharmacy of your choice.

Please note:

• We will not fax, call in, or respond to requests from third-party pharmacies.

• We encourage you to allow 2–3 business days for prescription processing.

 

Prescription Guidelines

• Your pet must have been examined at Dacula Animal Hospital within the past 12 months.

• For preventative care medications (e.g., heartworm prevention), we also require an up-to-date annual heartworm test for your pet’s safety.

• For non-preventative medications, your pet must have been diagnosed by one of our veterinarians or under our care for the condition in question.

 

Shipping Timeline

Most medications ship within 5–7 business days. This may vary depending on the type of product and prescription. We encourage clients to request refills in advance to avoid delays.

 

Respecting Our Policy

We understand this policy may be different from what other clinics offer. However, our commitment is to the well-being of your pet and the protection of your data.

We kindly ask that clients not demand third-party pharmacy approvals. This is a firm and well-considered policy. If you have questions or need help with a written prescription, we’re happy to assist.
