Pet Repeat Prescriptions | Sandhole Vets
When you lead a busy life, it can be hard to fit everything into the working day. With our online ordering service, you can order repeat prescriptions and many routine items such as flea and worm treatments and food quickly and easily at any time - all you need to do is fill out the short form below.
Please allow 3 working days between submitting your prescription request and collecting the medication. You will be notified by text/call when your prescription is ready. The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons requires us to carry out a clinical assessment when prescribing repeat medications, and this may require us to examine your pet, especially when prescribing antibiotics or controlled drugs.

Our examination fee is £58.00.
For controlled drugs please allow 5 working days before collection.
Under the UK law, only veterinary surgeons are allowed to prescribe (POM-V) medications for your pet. Our veterinary surgeons under these legislations can prescribe these treatments but regular health checks must be performed. At Sandhole Veterinary Centre our policy is to carry out a medication review (consultation) every 6 months. This is to ensure your pet is still in good health and on the most appropriate treatment, dose and regime. This sometimes includes blood sampling, blood pressure readings or other monitoring tests.
Written Prescriptions
Written prescriptions may be used to obtain medication from another vet or pharmacy. A written prescription does incur a fee; however, we do offer a reduced price for subsequent items that are requested at the same time.
As with other repeat prescriptions, your pet may need to see one of our veterinary surgeons for a medication check before we can issue the written prescription. We also ask for 72 hours notice to prepare your written prescription.
