This collaboration adds hundreds of pet prescription drugs to Amazon’s extensive collection of pet supplies, providing a more convenient shopping experience for pet owners in the U.S.

The new feature allows pet owners to purchase these medications through Vetsource using Amazon’s familiar checkout process. This collaboration combines the convenience of one-stop shopping with reliable delivery, making it easier for customers to access necessary pet care items.

Wendy Franks, Director of Amazon Pets, expressed her excitement about the expansion of pet offerings to include prescriptions. She emphasized Amazon’s commitment to making pet care easier for their customers, allowing them to focus on spending quality time with their pets.

Vetsource is responsible for the dispensing and delivery of veterinarian-prescribed medications to pet owners. The selection includes hundreds of the most frequently prescribed medications such as flea and tick preventatives and treatments for chronic conditions. The selection in the U.S. Amazon store is set to continue to expand. All prescription medications offered are FDA approved.

To purchase pet prescriptions on Amazon through Vetsource, customers need to search for their pet’s prescribed medication in the search bar in the Amazon Shopping app or on Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN). After adding the pet’s prescription to the cart, customers must input their prescribing veterinarian’s information at checkout. Once the veterinarian approves, eligible prescriptions will ship from one of Vetsource’s U.S. pharmacy locations. The shipping time typically ranges from 2-6 days.
