How do prescription refills work?

Refills at Petfolk East Cobb are simple for current patients. Call the clinic or ask at your visit, and the team checks the refill with the vet. The vet needs to have examined your pet recently to keep prescribing, because doses and needs change over time. For long-term medicine, like for the heart, thyroid or arthritis, the vet may also want blood work at set times to make sure the dose stays safe.

They were compassionate while explaining all her test results and were able to fill prescriptions in house also.

Can I give my pet human medicine?

No, not without asking the vet. Many people medicines are toxic to pets. Ibuprofen and naproxen can cause stomach ulcers and kidney damage in dogs. Acetaminophen is very harmful to cats. Some cold medicines and sugar-free products contain xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. If your pet swallowed a human pill, call Petfolk East Cobb at (678) 539-8441 right away.

Tips for giving medicine

Giving pills is easier with a few tricks:

1. Hide the pill in a pill pocket, a bit of cheese or plain chicken, if the vet says food is okay.

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

3. For cats, ask if the medicine comes as a liquid or a chew.

4. Finish the full course, even if your pet seems better.

5. Store medicine out of reach, since dogs chew bottles.

6. Set a phone alarm for each dose, and note on a calendar when it was given.

The team can show you how to give pills or ear drops before you leave. Fear Free handling is standard at every Petfolk clinic, and that care extends to teaching you how to medicate gently at home.
