What's involved
If your pet takes medicine regularly, you can ask your vet for a written prescription and buy the medicine elsewhere, often for less online. Your vet must give you one if you ask.
New rules will cap the fee for a written prescription from 2027. Until then, fees vary from practice to practice, as the prices here show.
Each price is taken from the practice's own website or price list. Prices change, so the practice's own quote is the one that counts.
