Our Pharmacy
We maintain a full veterinary pharmacy. For rarely utilized pharmaceuticals, we can usually place special orders for next-day receipt, at no extra cost. Or, for drugs that are also sold to people, we can call in prescriptions to human-based pharmacies, such as Vons, CVS, or Costco. Customers seeking a prescription to be filled at a non-human based veterinary pharmacy can either request to have the script mailed, faxed, or emailed to them.
Prescription Foods
A prescription diet may be recommended to help manage your pet's acute or chronic medical conditions. In our hospital, we carry a limited variety of prescription diets by Hills and Royal Canin to meet your pet's more urgent nutritional needs. We recommend Vetsource for the convenience of online ordering and home delivery on a wide variety of pet food diets.
