Prescription savings calculator
Compare pet medication prices at your vet vs online pharmacies. You could save up to 80% on some medications.
Know your rights: Under the CMA agreement, vets must provide prescriptions to clients. You can get them filled at the pharmacy of your choice, potentially at a lower cost than your vet.

Prescription cap explained
What is the prescription cap?
As part of the CMA investigation into veterinary services, a new fee cap of £21.80 was introduced for issuing a prescription. This applies to most vets across the UK.
Can I get my prescription from a different pharmacy?
Yes! You have the right to get your prescription filled at any registered pharmacy. Just ask your vet for a prescription and you can shop around for the best price.
How much can I save?
Savings vary by medication, but online pharmacies often charge 30-80% less than vet practices for the same medication. The savings calculator above shows typical prices.
Is it safe to use online pharmacies?
Yes, as long as they're registered with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) and require a valid prescription. Always check their credentials before ordering.
