Step 3

Check your local pet stores. A lot of basic pet medications can be purchased in your local pet store. If you pet has fleas and needs a flea wash or pill treatment, look at pet stores and even big box stores like Wal-Mart. As well, things like hairballs and shedding can often be controlled with pet medications purchased at your local pet store. Just keep in mind that the strength of these medications may not be as strong as the medications your veterinarian may provide. Inquire about dosage before opting for store-bought pet meds.

Before you give your pet any medication, be sure to consult with your veterinarian. Read the ingredients on the label and do some research to see if the medication has any harmful side effects. As well, consider any allergies or special needs that your pet may have before purchasing medication. Getting a great deal on pet meds isn’t worth it if the medications lead to more problems. Treat your pet like the family member that it is and ensure that the pet medications you purchase are suitable and healthy for your pet.
