Isn't it strange that our ancestors had to fight off wild animals to survive, but today, intangible stresses like pressure of exams, career deadlines or less attention on social media can push someone to the brink? How far we've come, yet how fragile we've become.

LPT - Many pet meds are available for much less at a human pharmacy instead of your vet.

I have a dog with seizures that requires multiple meds per day. Originally my vet quoted me over $300 per month for the two meds. Someone on a different sub told me to ask for the prescriptions in hard copy to take to a regular human pharmacy. My vet kinda grumbled about it when I asked but they have to do it by law.

Then, about a year later after a couple dosage increases to stave off the seizures, I moved the prescriptions from my local pharmacy to Costco and saved another $50/mo.

They can’t fill all animal prescriptions but a LOT of meds for pets are the same as human ones, just in smaller doses.

The pressure that is on folks to just pay to make their animal well in the moment might override looking for a better price, so hopefully this helps some folks!
