Saving Big Bucks on Pet Meds

I’ve been seeing commercials for online pet pharmacies for several years now, and I wish I had taken them seriously a long time ago. I never realized until recently just how much you money could save by using them.

I transferred a few prescriptions to Doctors Foster and Smith late last year, and I saved a bundle when I did. I later transferred the others.

You may recall that Cruella requires an injection of Percorten every 25 days. I was paying $133 per injection at the vet’s office. By ordering the medication from Doctors Foster and Smith, I was able to save $18 per injection. Now I’m saving even more.

I belong to a Yahoo Group for owners of dogs with Addison’s Disease. The other members informed me that they are paying even less for their injections by ordering from 1-800-PetMeds. I checked into it, and sure enough. The cost of Cruella’s injection has now gone from $115 to $89!

My online pharmacy experience is limited to Doctors Foster and Smith and 1-800-PetMeds. The service has been great with both, but there are some pretty big differences between the pharmacies.

Doctors Foster and Smith has free shipping on all prescription items, no matter how small the order. My orders usually arrive within 3-4 days. Every order includes a fact sheet about each medication. Doctors Foster and Smith will not price match another pharmacy.

1-800-PetMeds offers free shipping for all orders over $39. I’ve ordered from them three times already, and each order arrived in only 2 days. They do not send a fact sheet with each medication, but they do include some sort of freebie with every order. Two of my orders included a huge dog biscuit, and the other included a sample of Greenies Pill Pockets. 1-800-PetMeds will price match any other online pharmacy. They offer automatic discounts upon checkout, and they send very generous coupon codes to you by email.

As I mentioned, my experience with both companies has been fantastic, but I’ve been relying more on 1-800-PetMeds lately due to the price match feature. I am saving $616 per year on just the Percorten! When you add the other medications, it’s probably $1,000 or more!

If you have pets and are purchasing their meds through a local veterinarian, you owe it to yourself and your pocketbook to look at the alternatives.

I Love Doctors Foster and Smith!

As part of my Total Money Makeover, I’ve been looking at ways to save money on veterinary expenses. A few weeks ago, I realized that I could save quite a bit of money by ordering the dogs’ flea control and heartworm preventive through Doctors Foster and Smith. I ordered a six pack of Interceptor and a three pack of Frontline Plus and saved about $21 from what I had been paying at the vet’s office. That’s an annual savings of over $122 on just those two medications!

Today I asked the vet to write a prescription for the Percorten injection that Cruella currently receives every 24 days. I’ve been paying $133 per injection at the vet’s office. By ordering through Doctors Foster and Smith, I will be paying $93.49 per injection. I can give the shots myself and save almost $600 annually. Or I can have the vet to administer the injection for a fee of $18 each. That would drop the annual savings to about $322. I think I’ll have the vet to give a few more injections, and then I may take over the responsibility.

I just recently got refills on Cruella’s Thyrozine and Prednisone, but I’m going to start getting those from Doctors Foster and Smith when it comes time to reorder. I will save over $169 annually on those two medications.

I wish I had started ordering these meds online sooner. I can save almost $900 per year! If you have pets, be sure to do a price comparison to see if you can save money too. And for added savings, my buddy Andrew has some great Doctors Foster and Smith coupon codes.
