Massachusetts CVS Pharmacies Now Offering Dog And Cat Medications

Massachusetts CVS pharmacies are now offering prescription medications for dogs and cats.

The Woonsocket-based company made the announcement Tuesday.

"Pet owners can fill prescriptions for select pet-only medications, including antibiotics, allergy, flea and tick control, insulin, and pain relievers, at their local CVS Pharmacy, expanding access to essential pet health care," CVS said in a media release.

"Greater flexibility in where pet prescriptions are filled helps reduce stress and delays, ensuring pets receive the medications they need conveniently while supporting their health and well-being," the release said.

“We’re proud to be a trusted partner in our patients’ health care journeys,” Sid Tenneti, the CVS senior vice president and interim president of Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness for CVS Health, said in the release.

“With the addition of pet medication dispensing, CVS Pharmacy can now serve every member of the family," Tenneti said. "Combined with our convenient locations, extended hours, and broad range of health and wellness products, we offer a true one-stop destination for care.”
