Getting Your Pet’s Medications Should Be the Easy Part
Getting your pet the medications and preventives they need should be simple. Whether you leave a wellness exam with a new prescription or need to refill a long term medication, our pharmacy is here to make the process easier.
At Madison Veterinary Hospital, our in house pharmacy and online store help you access the products your pet needs, dispensed safely with guidance from the veterinary team who knows your pet best.
From prescription medications for chronic conditions to flea and tick prevention, heartworm preventives, and specialty diets, our pharmacy services are designed around convenience, safety, and continuity of care.
When you get your pet’s medications through us, you also get the assurance that everything dispensed is appropriate for your pet, at the correct dose, with clear instructions for use.
In-House Pharmacy
Our in house pharmacy stocks a broad range of commonly prescribed veterinary medications. In many cases, your pet can leave their appointment with the medication or product they need the same day.
Prescription Medications
Our pharmacy carries many commonly prescribed medications based on your veterinarian’s treatment plan.
These may include:
Antibiotics
Anti inflammatory medications
Pain management medications
Anti fungal treatments
Cardiac medications
Seizure management medications
Thyroid medications
Medications for chronic conditions
Other veterinary prescriptions as recommended
Your veterinarian will explain why the medication is being prescribed, how to give it, what side effects to watch for, and when a refill or recheck may be needed.
Parasite Prevention
We carry a curated selection of veterinarian recommended flea, tick, and heartworm prevention products.
Our team can help you choose the right option based on your pet’s:
Species
Age
Weight
Lifestyle
Health history
Exposure risk
Current medications
Not all prevention products are the same. Some over the counter products marketed for pets can be harmful, especially for cats. Getting parasite prevention through your veterinarian helps reduce that risk and ensures your pet receives the right product.
Specialty and Prescription Diets
We stock select prescription diets for pets with specific medical needs.
Prescription diets may support pets with:
Kidney disease
Urinary tract disease
Food allergies
Gastrointestinal disorders
Weight management needs
Other medical conditions
Therapeutic nutrition can be an important part of managing certain health concerns. Please see our Nutritional Counselling page for more information about diet recommendations and prescription food guidance.
Compounded Medications
Some pets need medication in a form that is not commercially available. In these cases, we may coordinate compounded medications through trusted veterinary compounding pharmacy partners.
Compounded medications may be helpful for pets who need:
Custom dosing
Liquid formulations
Flavored medication
Alternative dosage forms
Medication not available in a suitable standard form
Our team will explain when compounding is appropriate and how to use the medication safely.

For the convenience of clients throughout Madison Heights, Royal Oak, Warren, Troy, Ferndale, and the surrounding region, Madison Veterinary Hospital also offers an authorized online store.
Through our online pharmacy, you may be able to order:
Prescription medications
Flea and tick prevention
Heartworm preventives

Approved pet health products
Shopping through our authorized online pharmacy helps ensure that the products you receive are genuine, properly stored, and supported by manufacturer guarantees when applicable.
Why Getting Medications Through Your Vet Matters
It can be tempting to search for the lowest price on pet medications online, and we understand that cost is a real consideration. However, medication safety and product quality matter.
Many online retailers selling pet medications are not authorized distributors. Products purchased through unauthorized channels may be:
Counterfeit
Expired
Improperly stored
Incorrectly labeled
Compromised during shipping
Not covered by manufacturer guarantees
Beyond product integrity, getting medications through your veterinary team means prescriptions are reviewed in the context of your pet’s full health history.
This matters because your veterinarian considers:
Correct dosage
Drug interactions
Existing health conditions
Age and weight
Medication monitoring needs
Possible side effects
Long term safety
When your pet’s medications come through Madison Veterinary Hospital, our team can answer your questions and help make sure the treatment plan remains safe and appropriate.
Prescription Refills
Refilling your pet’s prescription should be straightforward.
For most maintenance medications, you can request refills by calling Madison Veterinary Hospital at 248-399-5225 or by using our online store when available.
Please allow enough lead time for refills, especially if your pet takes the medication daily or if the medication needs to be compounded.
Some long term medications require periodic recheck exams or lab testing before refills can be approved. This helps us confirm that the medication is still safe and appropriate for your pet.
When Rechecks or Lab Testing May Be Needed
Some medications can affect the liver, kidneys, blood values, thyroid levels, or other parts of your pet’s health.
Your veterinarian may recommend recheck exams or lab testing for pets taking:
Long term pain medications
Anti inflammatory medications
Seizure medications
Thyroid medications
Heart medications
Steroids
Certain antibiotics or antifungals
Other chronic medications
These checks are not meant to make refills harder. They are part of keeping long term medication use safe and effective.
