Prescriptions & Refills

We’re excited to announce we now have an online pharmacy in addition to our hospital pharmacy. You can enjoy the convenience of free home delivery at a reasonable price.  When you buy from us, we’ll always take the time to explain the medications we’re sending home with your pet.

We have a few options for you to make prescription refills fast, easy, and convenient.  Just give us one business day to have everything ready for you. You can email us with your prescription request. If you want prescriptions mailed to you, you can log onto our online pharmacy and send us a message.  Go to your pet’s online medicine cabinet to view your pet’s prescriptions.  You can then select which prescriptions you want us to fill and send us an email message. You can pick up the phone and call our prescription refill line 503.285.2858. If you’ve accidentally run out of time and need to order your pet’s prescription refill for a same day pick-up, give us a call and we’ll do the rest.  We’re here to help.

1. Grasp cat firmly in your arms. Cradle its head on your elbow, just as if you were giving baby a bottle. Coo confidently, “Thats a nice kitty.” Drop pill into its mouth.
2. Retrieve cat from top of lamp and pill from under sofa.
3. Follow same procedure as in 1, but hold cat’s front paws down with left hand and back paws down with elbow of right arm. Poke pill into its mouth with right forefinger.
4. Retrieve cat from under bed. Get new pill from bottle. (Resist impulse to get new cat.)
5. Again proceed as in 1, except when you have cat firmly cradled in bottle-feeding position, sit down on edge of chair, fold your torso over cat, bring your right hand over your left elbow, open cat’s mouth by lifting the upper jaw and pop the pill in – quickly. Since your head is down by your knees, you won’t be able to see what you’re doing. That’s just as well.
6. Leave cat hanging on drapes. Leave pill in your hair.
7. If you’re a woman, have a good cry. If you’re a man, have a good cry.
8. Now pull yourself together. Who’s the boss here anyway? Retrieve cat and pill. Assuming position 1, say sternly, “Who’s the boss here, anyway?” Open cat’s mouth, take pill and… Oooops!
9. This isn’t working, is it? Collapse and think. Aha! Those flashing claws are causing the chaos.
10. Crawl to linen closet. Drag back large beach towel. Spread towel on floor.
11. Retrieve cat from kitchen counter and pill from potted plant.
12. Spread cat on towel near one end with its head over long edge.
13. Flatten cat’s front and back legs over its stomach. (Resist impulse to flatten cat.)
14. Roll cat in towel. Work fast; time and tabbies wait for no man or woman.
15. Resume position 1. Rotate your left hand to cat’s head. Press its mouth at the jaw hinges like opening the petals of a snapdragon.
16. Drop pill into cat’s mouth and poke gently. Voila! It’s done.
17. Vacuum up loose fur (cat’s). Apply bandages to wounds (yours).
18. Take two aspirins and lie down.
