Compare

• The best way to compare pet medicines is to find out from your veterinarian which medicines are recommended for your pet. Ask if there are other, comparable, generic, options. Once you know what you are looking for, a simple online search will yield a number of "cheap" pet medicine sites which compare prices.
  
  

Considerations

• A common reason most people compare pet medicines is to reduce cost. Many of these medicines can be extremely expensive. While pet insurance is becoming more popular, relatively few pet owners are able or willing to invest in insurance for their pets. However, pet insurance can help reduce direct costs to the pet owner.
  
  

Bottom Line

• The bottom line, according to veterinarian Katie Wright, do not compromise your pets health just to save a little money on medicine. Do your homework and ask your veterinarian to confirm the quality of any pet medicines not purchased directly from your vets office.
