How do I place a reorder?
To place a reorder, simply follow the first few steps of the shopping cart instructions above, including adding the reorder products to your cart. When you checkout, you will be asked to login using your previously used e-mail address and customer account password. After you login, your address, pet, and veterinarian information will appear as the same as your previous order. Make any changes and enter your payment information.

What is my veterinarian's role?
VetRxDirect will only fill prescriptions with a valid veterinarian / client / patient relationship. Your veterinarian is responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of your pet which includes prescriptions. Your veterinarian must document prescriptions and is responsible for your pet while on these prescriptions.
All prescription items are marked with an orange Rx symbol near the product picture or name. These items require a prescription from your veterinarian.
For security, accuracy and your convenience, VetRxDirect will fax a prescription request to your veterinarian after you place your online order. If you have a written prescription, please mail the original to VetRxDirect. Your order will be processed when a valid prescription is on file.
By pharmacy law, pharmacies can only accept prescriptions by fax if sent directly from veterinarians. After you place your order, please see the receipt sent to you by e-mail for more information.

Questions? Concerns? Contact us via e-mail at customerservice@vetrxdirect.com or call us at 1-866-761-6578.
How can I tell if medications have expired?
- Check for an expiration date printed on the bottle or box by the manufacturer. This date is usually printed near the lot number of the product.
- Check for an expiration date printed on the pharmacy’s label.
- Use the general rule that most prescriptions expire one year from the date it’s filled.
Speak with your pharmacist or veterinarian if you have any questions about the safety of the medication. If the validity of any medication is in question for any reason, properly dispose of the product rather than risking the safety of your pet.
How do I properly dispose of leftover or expired medication?
Check with your local solid waste authority for advice. Your local solid waste authority may or may not have a hazardous waste disposal service for old medications.
Otherwise, speak to a pharmacy or veterinary clinic for the best way to dispose of medications in your area. Many pharmacies and veterinary clinics will accept expired or leftover medications and dispose of them properly for you. VetRxDirect will properly dispose of any medications purchased from our pharmacy. Please call or e-mail our pharmacy for proper shipping instructions.
