VetRxDirect’s expertise is on small companion animals; mainly cats and dogs. These pets are given human and animal-labelled medications for similar disease states as humans, but can have different contraindications, adverse effects and dosing schedules we must consider. Furthermore, cats and dogs have different toxicities to inactive ingredients found in human-labelled drugs. Reptiles are a category we don't dispense medications for due to the concerns with animal drug therapy mentioned above and our lack of expertise in the reptile field. Our pharmacists take pride in their knowledge of medications used in companion animals, but are reluctant to extend their assurance to all animals at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
