My dog was diagnosed with a condition that will cost $130/month in medication. I was struggling to think of a way to make this more affordable when I suddenly thought to check whether COSTCO pharmacy fills pet prescriptions. They do!

And as a member, my dog’s meds will be $86/month! Still a big expense but $52 cheaper than any of the online pet pharmacies.

[Linda]

So, you just ask your vet for a prescription to get filled elsewhere?

[Kristi]

Check Amazon. And please be careful and check to make sure the human version can be safely taken by him

[Rache]

Is it Cushings? A lot of dogs have it nowadays! I found a supplement on Amazon that worked so well for my senior dog!

She’s like a puppy again!

[Holly]

We found the same thing with Costco’s prices on all of our dog’s pain meds.

[Jesse]

Check with sams club and walmart to mine were cheaper at sams than costco and you dont need a membership for the pharmacy

[Ashley]

You can go to human pharmacy for pet drugs, in most cases.
I got pregabilin through CVS for like $15.

Look on goodrx.

[Kim]

We love Costco and used them for a few years for our dog’s heart meds – in the last year found same medication is 2/3 cheaper through CVS – found cost difference through GoodRX.

Our checkbook is much happier and so are we.

[Heather]

GoodRx might help too.
We switched to rite aid from the vet for seizure meds. They were half the price.

[Jackie]

Good job! See how a little investigative work pays off! Perhaps you can fool your budget into thinking it’s still the original amount and squirrel away that $52.00 each month?

You’ll have a nice chunk of change by Christmas time!

[Diane]

Just to throw out there, I recently found out that Good RX takes RX’s for animals….I got my cat’s RX down to $4/month at Walmart.

[Rita]

We use GoodRX for our dog and it drops his meds to $60 for a 90 day supply.

[Pat]

I was paying $130 mo for my dog’s meds for Myasthenia Gravis. Through Good RX it went down to $49 mo

Never hurts to ask

[Beth]

If you have a Kroger or a Kroger-owned store near you Che k out their Rx club. You can have 5 names on one plan…including pets.

And they don’t even have to live with you!!

[Tere]

Try Budget Vet Care. They are half what I would pat here and exact same meds.

I have four dogs, and they are all on Simpartica Trio.

[Joan]

Yes!!! Costco, Sams Club and Walmart all have cheaper pet Rx. Be sure to compare!!!

We found that Walmart had the cheapest for one of our pet’s Rx

[Nikki]

That’s fantastic! I had a vet tech recommend an online pharmacy called California Pet Pharmacy and they had great prices.

I could get them by subscription and they mailed them to me, so no special trips needed.

[Amanda]

What is the medication? Is it generic? If not see if you can get generic.

Also check small pharmacies sometimes they will do a discounted price.

[Jackie]

Sams considers pets family members and they qualify for discounted meds too!

[Sandy]

Another vote for GoodRx. Between the two of them, my dogs have 6 monthly prescriptions.

I save big money using GoodRx at my local rite aid.

[Jamie]

If it’s a human drug just used in dogs (my dogs glaucoma eye drops are) check Good Rx.

It saves me $100 a month between the two he takes.
