Find other effective alternatives

First of all, you should ask your vet if your pet needs immediate treatment and if not, you should search on the internet for veterinary pharmacies that have lower prices, because sometimes, you can find better prices online. 

However, another great solution to save more money and keep your pet healthy is to ask your vet if there are some alternatives to those meds that are just as efficient. In some cases, there are some alternatives that contain the same substance and are cheaper, so you can buy them. Unfortunately, most of the time, we pay for the name brand, not the meds per se.   

“Don’t assume you have to fill your dog’s prescription at the vet,” says Andrea Woroch, a money-saving expert. “Prices on pet medications can have markups of more than 100 percent in some cases.”
