As of October 1, 2023, Whitewater Veterinary Hospital will no longer process orders for medications or preventatives sent directly to us from online suppliers. Clients who order through online suppliers will need to pick up a written prescription for medications to provide to the online supplier directly. We will no longer fax or email prescriptions to other online suppliers.
We want to be very clear in saying that you need to purchase products only from a properly accredited and certified veterinary pharmacy. We understand that there are many reasons that our clients may want to purchase medications from big box stores online and we want you to make the most informed decision for your pet. We would hope that you order medications and preventatives from our own online store that you can access via our homepage or online store page. Our online store is an accredited and certified pharmacy and has continually held the Veterinary-Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites seal, a rigorous accreditation program administered through the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy.
What’s the easiest way to get your pet’s preventatives, food, prescription medications, and other necessities? Shipped right to YOUR front door!
Benefits of our Online Store:
If you place a prescription order which needs a doctor’s approval, the online store will send our clinic a notification, and for non-prescription orders, no approval is necessary. Once we verify the order, it will be processed and shipped to your door!
