WOONSOCKET, R.I. – CVS Health announced Tuesday that common prescription medications for dogs and cats are now available at its approximately 9,000 CVS Pharmacy locations nationwide.
Pet owners can fill prescriptions for select pet-only medications, including antibiotics, allergy, flea and tick control, insulin and pain relievers, at their local CVS Pharmacy.
Pet prescriptions are eligible for many of the same pharmacy services as their owners’ prescriptions, including automatic refills and prescription syncing, a news release states. Select medications may also be available for delivery.
“We’re proud to be a trusted partner in our patients’ health care journeys,” said Sid Tenneti, senior vice president and interim president, pharmacy and consumer wellness, for CVS Health. “With the addition of pet medication dispensing, CVS Pharmacy can now serve every member of the family. Combined with our convenient locations, extended hours and broad range of health and wellness products, we offer a true one-stop destination for care.”
Pet owners who would like to fill their pet’s medication at CVS Pharmacy need to present a written prescription or ask their veterinarian to contact the pharmacy directly. Once CVS Pharmacy receives the prescription, the pet owner can choose to pick it up in the store or have it delivered, if eligible.
Pet owners can add their pets to their CVS.com profile and manage eligible pet prescriptions through the CVS Health app.
