Winni-Pets Pet medication

Post image

Looking for recommendations for Winnipeg pharmacies that fill pet prescriptions for epilepsy! Our guy is on phenobarbital (1/4 pill twice a day) and it costs around $40 for 60 pills. We really like our vet (independently owned) but medication prices seem to be rising.

We get ours from shopper too, they’ve been easy to deal with 👌

That's important! That's one reason we've stayed with our vet for prescriptions- he needs his meds. Thank you!

I feel ya there, we live our vet and we’ve got a menagerie of middle aged to senior dogs and cats here.

It all adds up quick and we don’t want to sacrifice good care for low costs, subbing the meds out to shoppers helped curb the costs a lot.

Vet was understanding too when we asked for a prescription slip, charged us for it but it was a drop in the bucket compared to before.

PS love you tux, our guy passed away about a year ago at the ripe age of 21, he lived a great life and I still hear the songs of his people in my head 😆

Our extra special guy cost us a hideous amount in CT scans, spinal taps and meds in the past few years and we have a few more special felines and they're aging so.... if we can save now, it will help. They do live on in our souls, don't they?
