Since 2019, Walmart has engaged the services of Allivet Pet Pharmacy to offer pet prescription & other products on WalmartPetRx.com. In addition, since 2019, Allivet Pet Pharmacy has been your pharmacy of record.

Each prescription is valid for a maximum of six months from the date it is signed, or less if indicated so by your vet. This is restricted to 28 days for Controlled Drugs. You may wish to ask your vet to put repeats on the prescription so that it can be used more than once within the valid period.

You can get it from your veterinarian if they keep it in stock. Your veterinarian can write (or call in) a prescription to a local pharmacy that stocks the medication. Your veterinarian can provide a prescription so you can get the medication from an online pharmacy.

Ask your veterinarian if they know anything about the site you plan to use. Watch for red flags, such as not requiring a prescription, not listing an address and phone number, or not having a pharmacist available to answer questions. Always check for site accreditation, such as from Vet-VIPPS.

For prescription products, you add your vet's name during checkout and Walmart will call to confirm. There's free two-day shipping on orders over $35 and a 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.

As a general rule you should discard any liquid medication 2 weeks after it was mixed and discard any pills or capsules 6 months after they were dispensed.

6 months This is usually between 3 – 6 months. Your vet may mark somewhere on the prescription 'This prescription may be repeated X amount of times' or simply write the prescription for a sufficient quantity that will last until your next scheduled check-up.

No. It's a matter of both good medical practice and of state & federal laws. The time since last exam may vary by state, but a valid Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship (VCPR) must be established, and be current enough that the doctor is comfortably knowledgeable about your pet's health.

The drugs may be contaminated or they may be old. You may get worse instead of better. Or, you can have unexpected side effects. Drugs from fraudulent online pharmacies can put your health at risk, or the health of your family.
