(KTAL/KMSS) – CVS Health today announced that prescription medications for dogs and cats are now available at locations nationwide, aiming to make flexible and timely pet care more accessible.
According to CVS, pet owners can fill prescriptions for select pet-only medications at nearly 9,000 CVS Pharmacy locations. This includes antibiotics, allergy, flea and tick control, insulin, and pain relievers at their local CVS Pharmacy, expanding access to essential pet health care.
The company says there is now greater flexibility in where pet prescriptions are filled, which helps reduce stress and delays, ensuring pets receive the medications they need conveniently while supporting their health and well-being.
Pet prescriptions are eligible for many of the same pharmacy services as their owners’, including automatic refills and prescription syncing, helping simplify ongoing care. Select medications may also be available for delivery.
How it works
Pet owners who would like to fill their pet’s medication at CVS Pharmacy simply need to present a written prescription or ask their veterinarian to contact the pharmacy directly. Once CVS Pharmacy receives the prescription, the pet owner can choose to pick it up in-store or opt to have it delivered, if eligible.
“With the addition of pet medication dispensing, CVS Pharmacy can now serve every member of the family. Combined with our convenient locations, extended hours, and broad range of health and wellness products, we offer a true one-stop destination for care.” said Sid Tenneti, Senior Vice President and Interim President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, CVS Health.
Pet owners can add their pets to their CVS.com profile and manage eligible pet prescriptions through the CVS Health app.
Additional enhancements to help make the new service even more convenient for pet owners and veterinarians, including electronic prescription capabilities, will be added in the coming months, the company shares.
