What you should know before you let your veterinarian fill your pet's prescription

It usually doesn't work that way for pets. If your dog or cat needs medication, the vet writes the prescription and fills it too. You may be surprised to learn that the prices vets charge for the drugs are unregulated and vary widely across the country (and even from one neighbourhood to the next).
