With Chewy it is easy to order our babies prescriptions & get them usually in 3 days. The prices are reasonable plus they are delivered to our home. We love getting anything from treats to meds through Chewy
My show dog has a tendency towards skin infections because of the handstripping. Chewy worked with my Vet so I would have an antibiotic on hand. She completed this and we will switch to a liquid which will be easier to administer but thank you for working with my vet!
I had not realized this was generic. Happy to say it did work and received prescription on time. Thank you. I would recommend.
My ordered arrived promptly as I expected from Chewy. It was exactly as ordered.
I was prescribed 60 antibiotics. Mom’s pharmacy wanted $1.00 a pill. Chewy charged mom 26 cents each for the exact same thing. Mom saved money and I got more treats.
Great helped a bit the steroid shot would be beneficial as a nail clipping. Spunky is terrified of every nail car object we've purchased
Great stuff. I use it right away with mom's with hard teets to head off mastitis in dogs and won't hurt nursing or pregnant moms or pups. A must to have on hand.
Bought these meds through Chewy and it saved me $$. Much more expensive they the vets office. Thank you Chewy!
EVERYTHING I GOT WAS ON POINT AND FOR A REALLY REALLY GREAT PRICE. THE ONLY THING I WOULD ASK BEFORE ORDERING MEDICATIONS FOR YOUR PET...CAN YOUR PET AFFORD TO WAIT? IT TOOK SEVERAL DAYS FOR THE MEDICATION TO GET HERE AND THAT WAS OK BECAUSE IT WAS NOT NEEDED IMMEDIATELY. BUT KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU ORDERED.
The medicine is great. It just took too long to get here.
