Pet medications now available at CVS Pharmacy locations nationwide.

Pet prescriptions are eligible for many of the same pharmacy services as their owners', including automatic refills and prescription syncing, helping simplify ongoing care. Select medications may also be available for delivery.

"We're proud to be a trusted partner in our patients' health care journeys," said Sid Tenneti, Senior Vice President and Interim President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, CVS Health. "With the addition of pet medication dispensing, CVS Pharmacy can now serve every member of the family. Combined with our convenient locations, extended hours, and broad range of health and wellness products, we offer a true one-stop destination for care."

How it works

Pet owners who would like to fill their pet's medication at CVS Pharmacy simply need to present a written prescription or ask their veterinarian to contact the pharmacy directly. Once CVS Pharmacy receives the prescription, the pet owner can choose to pick it up in-store or opt to have it delivered, if eligible.

Pet owners can add their pets to their CVS.com profile and manage eligible pet prescriptions through the CVS Health app. Additional enhancements to help make the new service even more convenient for pet owners and veterinarians, including electronic prescription capabilities, will be added in the coming months.

Medications and more

In addition to prescription pet medications, pet owners can find everything from shampoos and wet and dry food, to flea and tick care and dental treats in the Pet section of CVS Pharmacy stores and on CVS.com. CVS Pharmacy's own Pet Central brand includes a variety of products for dogs and cats, including ergonomic grooming tools, pet care and wellness accessories, toys, cat litter and puppy training pads, with new items coming in September. Additional national brand products have been recently added to the assortment as well, including items from Milk-Bone, Greenies, Churu, Savory Prime and Temptations.
