How do I get a repeat prescription for my pet?
If your pet has a condition that requires long-term medication, such as osteoarthritis or an under active thyroid, the vet will advise you that they can have a repeat prescription. Typically, this means you will be dispensed a month's supply of medication. When this comes to an end, you will be able to collect another supply, by advising us that you would like to collect a repeat prescription. We aim to process all repeat prescription requests within 24 hours.
Our governing body requires that we review all patients on long-term medications every 6 months. This enables us to check their dose is still correct and address any changes in the progression of their condition. When you consider that 6 months of our life is equivalent to 3.5 years of a dog's life, these check-ups are very necessary indeed.
How quickly can Green Pastures process a repeat prescription?
The frequency of checks depends on your vet's advice, but it is usually every 6 months. The charge for a prescription medication re-examination is £40.18 and can be combined free of charge with a booster vaccination.
You can request these prescriptions by phone at 01934 622022 or by email at info@greenpasturesvets.co.uk.
What costs are involved?
You may obtain Prescription Only Medicines category V (POM-Vs) from your veterinary surgeon or ask for a written prescription and obtain these medicines from another veterinary surgeon or a pharmacy. Each written prescription costs £11.34.

Your veterinary surgeon may prescribe POM-Vs only for animals under their care. A prescription may not be appropriate if your pet is an in-patient or immediate treatment is necessary.
