Medications & Prescription Diets, Your Way

Our in-house pharmacy stocks a wide range of prescription medications so that in many cases, your pet’s prescription can be filled and sent home the same day as their appointment—no waiting for a shipment, no trip to a separate pharmacy. For clients who prefer the convenience of home delivery or need to order between visits, our online pharmacy through MyVetStoreOnline provides access to the same trusted medications with the added flexibility of having them delivered directly to your door.

Prescription diets are an important part of managing many chronic conditions in dogs and cats, including kidney disease, urinary issues, food sensitivities, obesity, and gastrointestinal disorders. Whether your pet needs a therapeutic diet as part of an ongoing treatment plan managed through our Pet Internal Medicine services or a maintenance diet recommended during a wellness visit, our team can help you find and access the right nutrition for their needs.

Why Use Your Veterinarian’s Pharmacy?

Authorized prescriptions, trusted products, and a team that knows your pet’s full health history

When you purchase your pet’s supplies through your veterinarian, it gives our team a chance to review your pet’s health history before filling any prescription, which reduces the risk of interactions or dosing errors. That means purchasing through our pharmacy helps keep your pet’s care connected—when our team dispenses a medication, we maintain a record of it, which informs every future visit and treatment decision.

For pets requiring prescription refills between appointments, our online Prescription Refill Form makes it easy to submit a request without calling during busy clinic hours.

Same-Day Dispensing

Most prescriptions can be filled on-site at the time of your pet’s appointment—so you leave with everything your pet needs.

Authorized Online Access

MyVetStoreOnline and Purina Vet Direct provide convenient, veterinarian-authorized options for home delivery of medications and prescription diets.

Our pharmacy carries a broad range of medications—from routine flea, tick, and heartworm preventives to prescription drugs for chronic disease management, post-surgical care, and acute illness. In most cases, prescriptions can be filled and dispensed at the time of your pet's appointment so you leave with everything you need in hand.

How do I use the online pharmacy at Vet Med Animal Hospital?

K

L

Our online pharmacy is powered by MyVetStoreOnline, an authorized veterinary pharmacy platform. To access it, contact our Lafayette team for prescription approval or a refill request, and we will connect you with the appropriate link to place your order. Medications ordered through MyVetStoreOnline are shipped directly to your home, making it a convenient option for maintenance medications your pet takes on an ongoing basis.

Can I order prescription diets online through Vet Med Animal Hospital?

K

L

Yes. We offer online access to the full Purina veterinary diet line through Purina Vet Direct for clients whose pets require therapeutic nutrition. Prescription diets play an important role in managing conditions such as chronic kidney disease, urinary tract disease, obesity, food allergies, and gastrointestinal disorders. We also carry most of our commonly recommended prescription diets in-house for immediate pickup at your pet's appointment. If you're unsure which diet is appropriate for your pet, our team will make a recommendation based on their current health status and treatment plan.

How do I request a prescription refill between appointments?

K

L

The easiest way to request a refill between appointments is through our online Prescription Refill Form, available on our website. You can also call us directly at (337) 456-8010 during business hours to request a refill by phone.

Please allow adequate lead time for refill requests, particularly for medications that may need to be ordered if not currently in stock.

Why shouldn't I purchase my pet's medications from an unauthorized online retailer?

K

L

Medications purchased through unauthorized third-party retailers—including some popular online marketplaces—may not be stored, handled, or sourced in ways that maintain product integrity. Purchasing through your veterinarian's in-house pharmacy or an authorized platform like MyVetStoreOnline ensures that your pet receives medications that meet the same standards as those dispensed at the clinic. It also keeps your veterinary team informed of what your pet is taking, which is important for safe, coordinated care.

Does Vet Med Animal Hospital carry heartworm and flea prevention medications?

K

L

Yes. Our in-house pharmacy stocks a range of parasite prevention products for dogs and cats, including heartworm preventives and flea and tick control medications. Given the warm, humid climate in Louisiana, year-round parasite prevention is strongly recommended for all pets in the Lafayette and Acadiana area. Our team will recommend the most appropriate prevention protocol for your pet based on their species, lifestyle, and exposure risk during their wellness visit.
