WhenNinaMeetEllie Buying repeat veterinary medication and prescription food directly from your veterinary surgery can prove hugely expensive, which is why buying online will provide significant savings. Here are a few reasons why:
Lower prices
Online retailers will usually have far lower overhead costs, compared to brick-and-mortar stores, this enables them to pass on these savings to their customers. Additionally, online retailers purchase in bulk, which allows them to negotiate lower prices from manufacturers and distributors.
Discounts and coupons
Online retailers will often offer discounts or coupons to incentivise customers to purchase from their website. These discounts can add up over time and help you save money. You can often find offers directly from the brands online website and Facebook groups, so keep your eyes peeled.
Convenience shopping
One of the most significant benefits of buying pet food online is the convenience it offers. You don’t have to leave your home to purchase pet food. Instead, you can order it online from the comfort of your own home and have it delivered straight to your doorstep. This means that you don’t have to worry about carrying heavy bags of pet food or finding a store that carries your pet’s preferred brand.
Another benefit of buying pet food online is the wider variety of brands and types of pet food that are always available. Online retailers often have a more extensive selection of pet food than brick-and-mortar stores, making it easier to find the specific type of food that your pet needs or prefers. Additionally, online retailers often have access to hard-to-find brands or specialty foods that may not be available in your local area.
Comparison shopping
With so many online retailers available, you can easily compare prices and products to find the best deal. This can save you both time and money and who doesn’t love a bargain!
It is important however, to note that not all online retailers are equal. Before making a purchase, be sure to research the company’s reputation and check for any potential red flags, such as unsecure payment processing or a lack of contact information. Additionally, always consult with your veterinarian before purchasing any medication or food for your pet.
Make huge savings on veterinary medicine
The biggest saving you can make for a pet who is on continuous medication i.e Thyronorm for an over/under thyroid, prescription medication or flea and worm tablets is to request a prescription from your veterinarian which should not exceed £30.00 depending on your country of residence. They can prescribe up to three months. Find a veterinary pharmacist online such as Pet Drugs Online if you are in the UK. Register your pets and upload your prescription. It will then be checked by a professional, agreed and shipped to your home address. The savings are huge and you can see the comparison in the video above.
