CVS Health announced that common prescription medications for dogs and cats are now available at its approximately 9,000 CVS Pharmacy locations nationwide. Pet owners can fill prescriptions for select pet-only medications, including antibiotics, allergy, flea and tick control, insulin, and pain relievers, and can manage eligible pet prescriptions through the CVS Health app. The service offers the same pharmacy conveniences as human prescriptions, such as automatic refills, prescription syncing, and delivery for select medications. Pet owners can present a written prescription or have their veterinarian contact the pharmacy directly, with electronic prescription capabilities planned for the coming months. The move expands CVS Pharmacy's pet care offerings, which already include a range of pet food, grooming tools, and wellness products in stores and online.
