Online Pet Pharmacies

If your Cavalier is on long-term medication, perhaps you've considered buying your medications online. Purchasing online can be a bit risky. You may be particularly hesitant when dealing with your pets health. The savings, however, can be great.

The FDA recommends that you find an online pharmacy that is accredited by the National Association of Pharmacies. This is a voluntary program and the applicants must meet certain criteria. Only a few businesses have gone through the process. The list is slim, but they are companies you can feel comfortable trusting.

Please reference the links below for the FDA article on pet pharamacies, followed by the (short) list of NABP accredited pet pharmacies.
