Pet Medications
Here is how the NACo Prescription Discount Card Program can be used for your pet prescriptions:
- Only works for medications dispensed from a participating pharmacy. These are the same medications that would also be used to treat human conditions.
- If your pet is prescribed a medication, ask your veterinarian if the medication is also used to treat human conditions. Examples are medications for seizures, heart conditions, infections, allergies, pain relief, diabetes and anti-depressants used to treat behavioral disorders in animals.
- Ask your veterinarian for a written prescription and take the prescription to a participating pharmacy along with your prescription discount card.
