The rising cost of pet medication has left pet owners searching for ways to save money while still being able to provide adequate care for their pet. For many, this has led to comparing the different pet pharmacies available online. While price is usually the first thing consumers look for, there are some other factors to consider when choosing your pet pharmacy. Here are some questions to ask before making your first purchase.
Does your pharmacy have licensed pet pharmacists on staff?
This may seem like an obvious question, but the truth is that some online pet suppliers are really just third-party distributors. They make their money by reselling products that they have purchased from other stores. Without a staff pharmacist they will never be able to sell you a full line of pet meds. Many of today’s pet medications require a prescription, so make sure your online source has the necessary staff to meet your needs.

Some people look at me like I’m crazy when I say “I love my ferret”, but I do, and they can think what they want. My little guy brings me hours of enjoyment and sunshine to my gray days. The last thing in the world I want is for him to get sick, yet it’s a fact of life and in order to offer the best care (and quality of life), you have to keep an eye on what’s going on in their ferret worlds.
FERRET CARE NOTE: If you suspect your ferret is sick, take him to the veterinarian as soon as possible. Do not try to treat him at home.
Perhaps the most beautiful of all big cats, the Snow Leopard is an amazing animal. Living at altitudes higher than those of most predators, the Snow Leopard creates a niche for itself in some of the most difficult terrains and hostile climates in the world.
Panthera Uncia, the Snow Leopard, is frequently grouped in small cats owing to its inability to roar, even as it is gifted a predator as any other felid. The cat is characterized by its nearly meter long tail that helps protect its face during extreme cold and enables it to balance itself while encountering adverse topography. The weight ranges from 80-130 lbs. Males are larger with a squarer face. The feet are bigger and furrier for its size relative to other cats, helping the leopard tread over snow. The coat is very attractive with thick fur and beautiful rosettes characteristic of leopards. In winter the coat gets more white than yellow.
