What medicines can my pet get at the visit?

Depending on what the vet prescribes, common medicines include:

• antibiotics and antifungals for skin, ear and bladder infections;

• pain relief and anti-inflammatory medicine for dogs and cats;

• anti-nausea and stomach medicine;

• anti-itch and allergy medicine;

• ear drops, eye drops and medicated shampoos;

• heartworm, flea and tick prevention;

• prescription diets for stomach, weight and other needs.

Prevention is a big part of the pharmacy's work. Across Petfolk, from October 2025 to September 2026, 85% of dog parasite-prevention purchases were Simparica Trio, a monthly chew. For cats, 88% were Revolution Plus, a topical. The vet will help you pick what fits your pet and your routine.

Why does my pet need an exam for a prescription?

A vet can only prescribe for a pet they know. The exam confirms the medicine is right for your pet's weight, age, kidney and liver health, and other medicines. That keeps your pet safe. For long-term medicines, the vet will tell you how often a recheck or blood test is needed to keep refills going.

How do I give my pet a pill?

Some tricks that help:

• Hide the pill in a pill pocket, a little cheese or a bit of plain cooked chicken, if the vet says food is fine.

• Give a plain treat first, then the one with the pill, then another plain one.

• For cats, ask the team about liquids, chews or a pill gun.

• Never crush a pill unless the vet says you can.

If your pet spits out a pill or you miss a dose, call the clinic before you give extra.

They took very careful care of my cat Dombo, and were incredibly informative as to ways I can treat his condition at home and best practices on using the medication they prescribed to him.

Bring this to a medicine visit

Bring every medicine, supplement and flea product your pet takes now, or photos of the labels. Mention any past reaction to a drug, even a mild one. If your pet is hard to pill, say so, because the vet can often choose a liquid, a chew or a longer-acting option. Traveling or boarding soon? Ask for enough medicine to cover the trip.

Clear prices and gentle care

You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit. The clinic takes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay and CareCredit. PetfolkCare starts at $199 a year, and members can message a 24/7 care team by chat if a question about a medicine comes up at home.

Every visit uses Fear Free handling, and the team can show you a calm way to give drops or pills so the routine stays easy for both of you.

Safety at home

• Keep pet and human medicine apart, in closed cabinets.

• Never give your pet human pain medicine. Many common ones harm dogs and cats.

• Finish the whole course of antibiotics, even when your pet seems better.

• Watch for vomiting, diarrhea, hives or a swollen face after a new medicine, and call the clinic if you see them.

If your pet swallows a bottle of pills or has a severe reaction, such as trouble breathing or collapse, go to a 24-hour emergency hospital such as VEG Winter Park at 1490 W Fairbanks Ave.
