Long term medications eligible for HALF PRICE*
Below are some of the common medications that vets will often prescribe for long-term or chronic conditions. We understand that when your pet is prescribed a long term medication, it can be a lot to process. Whilst we would always recommend speaking with your veterinary team directly about any specific medication queries, the below information relates to some of the products vets will commonly prescribe for long term conditions. It is also of note that all dogs on long term medications will need regular vet checks to ensure the medicine dosage and type is appropriate for the pet’s current condition.
