Prescriptions
We comply with regulations on the prescribing and dispensing of prescription only medicaines (POM-V).
A veterinary surgeon can only supply POM-Vs to an animal under their care. We must have examined the patient, for the condition requiring the medication, within the previous three months. You may then request a written prescription to be dispensed at another legal outlet, eg a pharmacy. The current charge to issue a written prescription is £9.50.
We do not charge for a standard re-examination of an animal on long term medication. However if there are significant changes to the condition or medication required there may be a repeat consulation fee. If new conditions are present then an initial consultation fee is applicable.
We are able to inform you of the price of any medications we supply. This information is also routinely itemised on your invoice.
Please be aware that it may not be appropriate to issue a prescription if your pet is an inpatient or requires immediate attention.
At Priory Veterinary Group we aim to provide the highest standard of veterinary care with dedicated and caring staff in a friendly environment. We are always here to listen, and will assist in any way we can.
