At Allambie Veterinary Clinic, we’re proud to offer a fully stocked pharmacy tailored to the health needs of dogs and cats. We understand the importance of timely access to medications, which is why we carry a wide range onsite.
Fast, Convenient Service
When you request a medication your pet has previously been prescribed, or one recommended by our vets, your request goes to a vet for review. The vet will review your pet’s medical history and determine whether the medication is still appropriate and safe. In some cases, a consultation may be required to examine your pet in person before a decision can be made. If the veterinarian approves the medication, it will be prepared for you to collect. We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice before pickup to ensure our veterinary team has enough time to make up the medication, especially during busy periods. Once prepared, your pet’s medication will be kept safely at the clinic until you’re ready to collect it. If you would like a text, we can send you a text when it is ready to be collected. We aim to make pet care easy and stress-free. Medications can be picked up directly from our clinic.
How It Works
As a licensed veterinary clinic, we follow professional and legal guidelines when dispensing prescription medications. To ensure your pet is receiving the most effective and appropriate treatment, we are required to examine them at least once every six months. These regular check-ups allow us to monitor your pet’s condition, adjust dosages if needed, perform blood tests when necessary, and check for any new health concerns or medication side effects. After your pet has been assessed, we can prescribe and dispense medication directly from our onsite pharmacy, often on the same day. This helps save time and ensures continuity of care, with all decisions made by a veterinarian who knows your pet’s full medical history.
