How long is my prescription valid for? How many repeats?
Prescriptions are valid until expiration date indicated by your prescriber.
If there isn't an expiration date explicitly stated, our pharmacist will exercise their clinical judgement to determine an appropriate date. Typically, prescriptions for maintenance (chronic) medications that do not have an expiry date will be valid for 12 months from date of issuance.
If the number of repeats is not indicated, or if it says "Repeat" but does not indicate the number of times, the prescription can only be filled once.
Do you sell to wholesalers or support bulk orders for resale?
PetsDrugMart products are intended for personal household use only. We do not support wholesale purchasing, bulk resale, or third-party redistribution.
Orders placed in unusually large quantities may be reviewed, adjusted, or cancelled at our discretion to help ensure product availability, safe use, and compliance with product guidelines.
If you have questions about ordering for multiple pets within the same household, please feel free to contact our team and we’ll be happy to assist.
