Is Vets Love Pets a legitimate pharmacy?
Vets Love Pets Pharmacy is a genuine, Australian pharmacy service, and every prescription medication is reviewed and dispensed by registered Australian pharmacists.
The medications we supply are Australian-approved products, held and handled to the same standards you would expect from any registered pharmacy.
Two things make a pet pharmacy trustworthy: who dispenses the medication, and whether they require a valid prescription. We tick both. A registered pharmacist checks every script, and we cannot dispense a prescription medication without one from your treating vet.
All prescription medication ordered through Vets Love Pets Pharmacy is reviewed, confirmed, and dispensed by Australian-registered pharmacists (ABN 51 675 058 072).
What makes VLP Pharmacy different to other online pet pharmacies?
Your vet stays in control
Your vet examines your pet, makes the diagnosis and writes the script. From there, we take over the dispensing and delivery, so treatment stays in expert hands and you have one less thing to chase. If anything on a script needs checking, our pharmacists go straight back to the clinic to confirm it, because getting it right matters.
Medication dispensed by Australian Registered Pharmacists
All prescription medicine supplied through our pharmacy partner is authentic and safe.
Every medication is:
- Sourced from Australian veterinary wholesalers and handled by registered pharmacists
- Registered with the Australian Government (TGA or APVMA) or prepared by a registered compounding pharmacist
- Processed and dispensed by Australian-registered pharmacists to ensure safety and quality
Order repeats in minutes, dispatched the same day
When you order through VLP Pharmacy, you can choose to keep your remaining repeats on file. That means when your pet is running low on their medication, you can select "Prescription on File" at checkout rather than re-uploading your script. Order selected medications before 11 am, and your pet's medication will ship the same day.
Quality you can afford
The medication your vet trusts, priced for real life, with express shipping flat rate of $9.49.
Why a vet visit comes first
Before any prescription can be filled, your vet needs to examine your pet and make the diagnosis. It is the step that keeps the whole process safe, and it is why we work with your vet rather than around them.
A proper check-up catches what you cannot see. Many conditions show no obvious signs until they are advanced, so a regular examination is the best chance to pick something up early. It is also when your vet reviews vaccinations, parasite protection and your pet's overall wellbeing, not just the issue in front of them.
It is what makes a prescription accurate. Your vet examines your pet to choose the right medication, the right dose and the right length of treatment, then sets how many repeats are appropriate. For pets on long-term medication, that is why a periodic recheck matters, and why your vet may want to see your pet again before issuing a new script.
Our role starts once that prescription exists. We dispense and deliver what your vet has decided, so the clinic that knows your pet stays in charge of the care.
How to order your pet's medication
Ordering your pet's medication takes three steps. Here is the process from script to doorstep.
- Get a prescription from your vet. At your pet's appointment, ask your vet for a prescription for the medication your pet needs.
- Order online and post us your script. Upload a clear photo of your paper script, select the medication and quantity, then post the original to us so your order can be dispensed.
- We dispense and deliver. A registered pharmacist reviews the script, prepares the medication and sends it express for a flat $9.49, so it arrives fast.
Has your vet given you an eScript? It's even simpler, with nothing to post. Here's how eScripts work.
What happens when your pet’s medication runs out?
If your prescription has repeats, we keep them on file, so reordering takes seconds. When your pet is due for more, you select the medication held on file and we dispatch the next supply.
For pets on long-term medication, this is the part that saves the most time. There is no need to re-upload the same script each month. When the repeats on a prescription run out, your vet will usually want to see your pet again before issuing a new one, which is a good prompt to check in on how the treatment is working.
Tips to make medicating your pet easier
Most pets take medication far more easily with a simple bit of disguise. A few small changes at home can turn a daily battle into a non-event.
- Hide tablets or capsules inside a soft, chewy treat made for the job.
- Mix liquid medication into a creamy treat. This works especially well for cats.
- Ask whether the medication comes in a more palatable form, such as a flavoured option.
- For pets who refuse oral medication, ask your vet whether another format would suit.

Getting your pet's medication sorted

Pharmacy FAQs
Do I need a prescription from my own vet?
Yes, you need a valid prescription from the vet who treats your pet to order any prescription medication. A registered pharmacist dispenses the medication against that script. We cannot supply a prescription-only medicine without one, because a vet needs to examine your pet to prescribe safely.
Can you buy prescription pet medication online in Australia?
You can buy prescription pet medication online in Australia, as long as it is dispensed by a registered pharmacy against a valid veterinary prescription. Vets Love Pets follows that process: your vet prescribes, our pharmacist dispenses, and the medication is delivered to you.
How is the Vets Love Pets pharmacy different from my local vet clinic?
The Vets Love Pets pharmacy dispenses and delivers the medication your vet prescribes, often at a lower cost than buying in clinic. It does not diagnose or examine your pet. Think of it as the dispensing and delivery step, working alongside the clinic that knows your pet.
What if my vet gives me an eScript instead of a paper script?
With eScripts, there's no sourcing a pharmacy, uploading a copy, or mailing the original. Your vet handles the script, VLP Pharmacy handles the rest.
Our pharmacy team will call to confirm your order and delivery details. Pay over the phone, or online via a secure link, whenever
suits you.
Your medication is then delivered directly to your door.
