Pharmacy & Prescriptions: Convenient Access to Your Pet's Medications
At Tarka Vets, we understand the importance of convenient and reliable access to the medications, treatments, and specialised diets your pet needs to stay healthy and manage any conditions. Our comprehensive pharmacy services are designed to ensure your pet receives their prescribed treatments promptly and safely, all under the expert guidance of our veterinary team.
Our Services Include:
On-Site Pharmacy: For your convenience, we maintain a well-stocked on-site pharmacy within our clinic. This means that for many common conditions and ongoing treatments, you can often pick up your pet's medication immediately after your consultation. Our veterinary team will ensure you receive the correct medication, dosage, and clear instructions on how to administer it, addressing any questions you may have. Having an in-house pharmacy allows us to:
Initiate treatment promptly, especially for acute conditions or emergencies.
Ensure the authenticity and quality of all medications.
Provide expert advice directly from the prescribing vet or nurse.
Offer refills for long-term medications with appropriate follow-up checks.
Prescription Diets: Nutrition plays a critical role in managing many health conditions, from allergies and gastrointestinal sensitivities to kidney disease and urinary issues. We stock and can order a range of high-quality prescription diets specifically formulated to address various medical needs. Our vets can recommend the most appropriate therapeutic diet for your pet, helping to support their recovery and long-term health. We can provide advice on:
The benefits of specific prescription diets for your pet's condition.
Transitioning your pet to a new diet.
Monitoring their response to the new food.
Written Prescriptions: While we strive to provide a comprehensive service, we also offer the option of written prescriptions if you prefer to source your pet's medication from an external pharmacy. If you would like a written prescription, please inform our team. There is a small fee for written prescriptions to cover the administrative costs and the professional time involved in their preparation and verification. Please allow sufficient time for these to be prepared.
Our priority is always your pet's health and safety. We ensure that all medications are stored correctly and dispensed accurately, providing you with peace of mind. If you have any questions about your pet's medication or need a refill, please don't hesitate to contact our friendly team.
