Prescription Policies

We at Juno Beach Animal Hospital take every possible step to ensure that our patients receive the best pharmaceutical products available.  Veterinarians are required by law to have a valid client/patient relationship in order to prescribe any medications.   As a service to our clients, if you prefer having medications delivered to your house, we offer mailing for a nominal fee.

     There are several catalogue/online sources available now.  There is some information we like for you to be aware of regarding these companies.  All major manufacturers of veterinary specific products are sold through licensed veterinarians only.  These online companies cannot obtain these products directly from the manufacturer.  Most of these products are obtained through non-approved channels.  The manufacturer's guarantees are not valid if the product if purchased through non-approved channels.  The only approved online pharmacy we recommend is “Vetstreet” through your pets personal “Pet Portal”.  You can access the “Pet Portals” on this web site by click on the “Pet Portal” box on the bottom of the 'welcome page'.  From this “Pet Portal” you can view your pet’s vaccination and medical history and order supplies.  Purchasing products through Vetstreet guarantees that you are not getting counterfeit products and helps support our hospital.

     If you prefer to purchase your products at catalogue/online sources we will gladly write prescriptions according to the following guidelines.

* We will write one prescription per pet per 6 months at no charge.  Additional prescriptions will have a fee of $5.00.

* To avoid doctor-patient confidentiality issues, we will not communicate with these companies in any manner.  The prescription will only be given to you and you may submit it as you wish.

* If the doctor has prescribed human medications for your pet that we do not carry, the prescriptions will be written at no cost to you.

     Please don=t hesitate to call us with any questions.
