Pharmacy is so easy to use

I simply asked my Vet if we could order my dog’s medication needs to Chewy-she explained to order the drug and we we get pop up menu. It lists your VET-Chewy sends them a message and boom-done! Fast, quick, easy. In the past had to use itching cream and now we only get the specific medication needed. Would highly recommend using Chewy Pharmacy!
