In-House Pharmacy

Our aim with offering in-house pharmacy services to patients is to provide provide convenience, reliability, and tailored care for pets’ medication needs and reduce stress for pet owners.

In-House Pharmacy

We eliminate the need for pet owners to visit external pharmacies or wait for prescriptions to be filled elsewhere. This convenience is especially beneficial in emergency situations or when pets require immediate treatment.

We prioritize medication safety and quality by sourcing medications directly from reputable manufacturers and adhering to strict storage and handling protocols. This helps minimize the risk of medication errors, contamination, or counterfeit products, ensuring the safety and efficacy of treatments for pets. A stocked inventory of veterinary medications and prescription diets is maintained on-site, allowing for immediate access to necessary treatments.

Additionally, as a veterinary hospital in Stockton, we often have access to a wider range of veterinary-specific medications and formulations that may not be readily available at human pharmacies. This ensures that pets receive the most appropriate and effective treatments for their health needs.

What is a veterinary in-house pharmacy and how does it benefit my pet?

A veterinary in-house pharmacy provides medications directly through your veterinarian, ensuring accurate dosing, verified products, and professional guidance. This saves time, reduces prescription errors, and guarantees that medications come from safe, regulated sources.

Yes—only when using a licensed and accredited online pet pharmacy. Certified pharmacies require valid prescriptions for prescription-only medications and follow strict safety standards. Buying from unverified websites can lead to counterfeit or unsafe products, so always check for accreditation and veterinarian approval.
For all FDA-regulated or prescription-only pet medications, a veterinarian’s prescription is required. Legitimate online pharmacies will confirm or request this. Non-prescription supplements, grooming items, and over-the-counter preventives may be available without a prescription—but always check with your veterinarian for safety.
Look for veterinary-approved platforms, accreditation badges (such as .Pharmacy or state pharmacy board licenses), clear contact information, and a requirement for prescriptions. Reputable pharmacies work directly with your veterinarian and never sell prescription medications without proper authorization.
In-house pharmacies offer guaranteed product authenticity, proper storage conditions, accurate dosing, and immediate availability. Your veterinarian oversees the entire process, ensuring the medication matches your pet’s medical history and current treatment plan.
Yes. We provide guidance based on your pet’s needs, medication type, and safety considerations. Whether you prefer an in-house pharmacy or a trusted online option, we help ensure you receive products that are safe, effective, and appropriate for your pet’s condition.
