Excellent customer service from Adam. I needed my dogs Vetmedin medication (which is perpetually on backorder from the manufacturer) in a hurry and within less than 48 hours of being called in by my vet, the rx was delivered to my home! Couldn't be more pleased and will definitely use again.

These guys are awesome. They were able to fill my veterinary antibiotic prescription cheaper than the vets office, AND compound it into a liquid so that I don't have to stuff pills down my dogs throat. I can't even begin to describe how much better this is for both me and my dog. This is a game changer. I'll never fill another prescription at the vets office again.

I am quite surprised by the negative reviews, as I have had nothing but positive experience since going there June, 2018. I give them advanced notice when I know the medications will run out, because I know they make the compounds right there in the pharmacy section. All staff have been very thoughtful and contact the doctor if renewing prescriptions are needed. I wish them all the success in the world and thank them and my doctor for their kindness and thoughtfulness.
