A Word About Pricing of Drugs and Pet Products

Many people believe that internet stores or major chain pet stores offer drugs and pet products at significant discounts compared to animal hospitals or smaller stores. This is typically not true.

If your pet receives a prescription at Northgate Animal Hospital that you are considering having filled by an internet pharmacy, we invite you to ask our receptionist for a price comparison sheet. In most cases, we are already priced about the same. If there is a price difference, we can usually match the price offered elsewhere. If you choose to use an internet pharmacy, we highly encourage you to verify the legal and business standing of the pharmacy, the source of the drugs, and the expiration date before you make a purchase. Given our pricing, convenience, and, in some cases, the immediate need for medication, we believe you'll find that using our in-house pharmacy is the right choice for you.

We also invite you to compare our pricing on pet products such as food, shampoos, and collars. Again, we believe you will find the combination of our prices and the convenience of one-stop shopping attractive.
