Prescription FAQs
To order medication for your pet through Pet Chemist Online, the first step is to obtain a written prescription from your vet. Then you can search for the relevant medication (or ask us for help!) and place an order online. The last step is to post the prescription to our PO Box.
As a pet owner who’s thinking about online vet prescriptions, we know that you just want a quick, simple, and, most importantly, reliable way to attend to your beloved pet’s needs.
Through this Pet Chemist article, you can learn more about vet prescriptions as well as refills, required information, and even the types of medication available. Above all, you’ll also find out how you can buy pet meds online.
Can I get a prescription refill online?
Absolutely! At Pet Chemist, we facilitate refills for pet health prescriptions, whether it’s Metacam for dogs, Gabapentin for cats, or another prescription medication.
For new orders, simply consult with your vet and request that they write you a pen-signed prescription. Afterwards, you can easily proceed with our online ordering procedure.
Online ordering procedure
1. Order placement. With our range of over 500 pet medications, you can easily navigate our website to search for your pet’s prescribed medication and proceed with our checkout process.
2. Prescription upload. Once your payment is complete, you’ll be directed to upload your prescription digitally. This step also involves providing some additional details about your pet’s specific prescription.

Refills vs repeats
A veterinary prescription generally remains valid for up to twelve months unless your vet has indicated a shorter duration or until all repeats are used. Additionally, it’s important to note that some special types of online vet prescriptions may also have shorter expirations or other conditions.
In cases where no repeats are included or if the indication specifically states ‘no repeats’, such vet prescriptions will only be valid for a single supply. In these cases, a new pen-signed prescription from your vet will be required for subsequent orders at Pet Chemist.
However, if repeats are included on your original prescription, the good news is that we hold these repeat prescriptions on file for you. This means you only need to post in the prescription once, making the process quicker and more cost-effective. We can then continue to process and dispense pet medication for you until the repeats are used up or the prescription expires.

Ordering prescription refills at Pet Chemist
We at Pet Chemist simplify pet care, and once you have a pen-signed prescription, you can order pet medication online. Here, we work with Australian registered pharmacists at Pet Chemist Pharmacy, and they’ll dispense your pet prescription drugs, such as Previcox or Cytopoint.
With this, simply keep in mind that the Pet Chemist Pharmacy is not able to accept e-prescriptions for pets or online vet prescriptions from online-only telemedicine veterinary businesses.
This is consistent with both the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) and state veterinary board guidelines. However, you may still secure a pen-signed prescription from veterinary businesses that provide physical and online healthcare services.
What types of medications can be prescribed online for pets?
When it comes to prescribed online pet meds, there is a wide range of options your vet can recommend based on their expert assessment. To give you a better understanding, this may cover parasite treatment, pain management, eye infections, skincare, and other pet health concerns.
While you might want to order pet meds online without any professional guidance, know that it’s always best to consult your regular vet first before considering anything, even over-the-counter products like canine arthritis supplements or maybe even flea and tick treatment for dogs.
Remember, your vet can offer personalised advice, ensuring the medication is exactly right for your pet’s individual health requirements.
Should your vet provide online vet prescriptions, you can ask them to write the same prescriptions and pen-sign them. This way, you can order affordable pet prescriptions through us at Pet Chemist.
