Submission Text
Frequently when I ask my clients where they are purchasing their heartworm preventative prescription medication they tell me from Pet Med. I am surprised that they are able to purchase the medication as I have not okayed a prescription for them. I believe that it is illegal to sell prescription medications without a prescription. So how is Pet Med getting around this?
