Pet Med Discount. When it comes to our pet’s health, we’ll do whatever we have to do to keep our pets living longer, healthier and happier lives. However, we’d rather save some of our hard earned cash that we would overspend at the vets and put it toward spoiling our pets. Here’s one tried and true method to save on pet care.
Vets typically charge what is called a “dispensing fee”. When you get your pets meds directly from them, and this dispensing fee will greatly increase the cost of your pet’s medications. Your local pharmacist will not charge you this dispending fee.

Also, if you are a AAA member, before you take your prescription to the pharmacist, be sure to print out a free AAA prescription discount card. Your AAA card may only save you another dollar or so, but that’s another couple of dollars you can put toward pet treats for your best friend!
