At VLP Pharmacy, we prioritise the health and safety of your dog. Under Australian law, medications used to manage pain and inflammation in dogs NSAIDs are classified as Schedule 4 (S4) Prescription Only. These medications can only be dispensed by a registered pharmacist upon receipt of a valid, original paper prescription from an Australian registered veterinarian.
