Who Runs This

PetMedsDirect is an independent informational resource founded by a pet owner who discovered that identical FDA-approved preventatives are available through licensed online veterinary pharmacies at 30โ€“60% below vet clinic retail โ€” with free shipping. Always consult your veterinarian before starting any new medication. Our recommendations are based on independent research: price comparisons across multiple licensed suppliers, verification of product authenticity and FDA approval, and evaluation of supplier reliability including shipping speed, return policies, and verified customer reviews. We are not veterinarians, not a pharmacy, and not owned by any pharmaceutical company. All content is cross-referenced with published veterinary references โ€” including the Merck Veterinary Manual and FDA-approved product monographs โ€” to ensure medical accuracy.
