Pet Health

Care for every member of the family

Most families are made up of more than just parents and children. In fact, 66 percent (or 89.5 million) of households in the U.S. are home to at least one pet, and 35 percent have more than one pet.* If you’re focused only on filling prescriptions for people, you’re underserving a large part of your patients.

Capitalize on animal health as a profitable revenue stream

The pet health industry is a $136.8 billion industry. Not only will dispensing pet medications enable you to tap into that valuable market, but it will also help you maximize the revenue you generate from companion sales of over-the-counter pet products as your pharmacy becomes known as a one-stop shop for holistic pet wellness.

Deepen your relationship with patients through their pets

You’re already having personal conversations with your patients about their health and, in many cases, the well-being of their spouse, children, parents, etc. Providing guidance on how to care for their pets is a natural extension of that relationship. This will give them yet another reason to put their trust in you and keep your pharmacy top of mind whenever they have questions about their pet’s health.

Add a layer of convenience to the lives of your pet-owner patients

Medication synchronization isn’t just for humans anymore. Why should your patients pick up their prescriptions at your pharmacy and then drive to their veterinary clinic to pick up their pet’s maintenance medication? You can get your patients and their pets on the same schedule, so all their prescriptions can be picked up at your pharmacy in one simple stop.

Cultivate a more unique in-store experience and digital presence

Specializing in pet medications adds another chapter to your pharmacy’s story and gives you more to share with your community. You can authentically incorporate animals into your store’s decor and social media accounts, because, let’s be honest, no one ever sneered at a picture of an adorable puppy—it will only make your pharmacy that much more enjoyable to visit.

We make it easy to stock the most common prescriptions in your pharmacy and complement them with a planogram dedicated exclusively to over-the-counter pet products.
