![]() Due to recent changes in New York State prescription laws, all prescriptions must now be written on an official New York State prescription form. In order to process a prescription the law requires that a veterinarian must have seen your pet within the past year. If you do choose to use an internet pharmacy for your prescription needs, we encourage you to research the company thoroughly. One way to check an Internet Pharmacy’s reputation is to look for the “Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Sites” (VIPPS) seal of approval. VIPPS is a service of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (www.nabp.net) and its seal of approval identifies those online pharmacies that are appropriately licensed to practice pharmacy via the internet.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers will only honor product guarantees when the medications are prescribed by and purchased from the pet’s veterinarian. Internet and mail-order catalogs, do not qualify for these guarantees. Purchasing Frontline, Heartguard, Advantage and Advantage Multi through Brighton-Eggert gives you a 100% guarantee on the product. Medications purchased online may have been purchased outside the United States and have different strengths and labeling than U.S. products. Also, if you are purchasing a 6 pack of Frontline or Advantage from Brighton Eggert Animal Clinic, we are able to offer you an additional tube of the same product at no charge. Because of this, in most cases, ordering from an online pharmacy offers no additional savings to you.
If you like the convenience of ordering online, please visit our website www.brightoneggert.com, our feature pet portals allows you to refill prescriptions online, 24 hours a day at your leisure. By having the medication(s) filled at Brighton-Eggert, you can have it the same day and cause no delays. When ordering from online pharmacies, It typically takes 1-2 days for the online pharmacy to contact us and process the prescription, then there’s a 2-5 day shipping time. Also, some medications are temperature sensitive and require next day or 2nd day air delivery, which adds to the cost. Prescriptions sometimes need a signature on delivery, so you need to be home to receive the shipment as well. As always, if you have any questions about your pet’s health, please contact us at (716) 833-9060 or email us at brighton.eggert@nvanet.com.
