What if my vet won't write a prescription?Updated a month ago

Whether to prescribe a medication is your vet's clinical decision, and if your vet chooses not to write a script you can ask another registered vet for a second opinion. Your vet decides whether a script is appropriate based on your pet's health and treatment needs.

A second vet will need to examine your pet and make their own clinical assessment before deciding whether to issue a script.

For questions about dosage, suitability or side effects, please speak to your vet. Our team cannot give clinical advice.
