Dispensing medicines

We are able to conveniently supply most medicines prescribed by the veterinary surgeon directly following consultations or procedures. If repeat medicines are needed it may be necessary for the veterinary surgeon to first check the progress of the condition and if medicines are used over a prolonged time then blood tests may be needed to ensure the condition is properly controlled and that no side effects are found.

Please telephone first to order supplies or medicines so that they can be made ready for collection.  There are strict controls governing the dispensing of Prescription Medicines. The permission of a veterinary surgeon is always required before medicines can be dispensed. Please make sure to request these before collection as otherwise it may not be possible for the nurses to supply them. Prescription medicines can only be made available for animals registered and under the care of the practice.
