Our staff is involved in ongoing continuing education about medications. Companies whose products we use, including Bayer, Novartis, Merk, Merial, and Pfizer, visit our office frequently and provide continuing education seminars for our doctors and staff. We get the latest research and data from our drug suppliers who also offer us seminars keep us informed about the latest drug information available.

Sunnycrest Animal Care Center passes on manufacturers’ any discounts we get from manufacturers to our clients. These rebates are usually not offered online or from catalogs.

While we are happy to write prescriptions for you, using our in-house pharmacy is convenient! Obtaining medications online sometimes results in a delay of two or three days getting your medication. You can pick up prescriptions at Sunnycrest any time we are open.  Please call first!

You should be aware that pharmaceutical companies will only honor their product guarantees when the medication is purchased from the pet’s veterinarian.  Internet and mail order catalogs do not qualify for these guarantees.

All prescription medications you purchase from us are approved by U.S. governmental agencies. Medications purchased online may have come from China, India or another foreign country and be labelled differently than U.S. products. You can tell if a product is approved by U.S. governmental agencies because the label will include “Caution: Federal law restricts this drug to be used by or on the order of a licensed veterinarian”. Counterfeit drugs sometimes include this statement on the label so it is not a 100% assurance that you have a good product.

Some pet insurance companies require all prescriptions to have U.S. Governmental approval for you to obtain reimbursement.
