Getting Prescription Meds is a Fiasco
I've tried to order prescriptions twice, and it's been a miserable experience both times. In my first experience, my vet prescribed 75mg of a joint medicine. Chewy cancelled the order twice (without informing me) because I ordered 100 50mg tabs (with the intent of breaking one in half) instead of 50 100mg tabs (where I would break off one-quarter). Absolutely stupid. Most recently, after a four-day wait during which I assumed my dog's prescription was on the way, Chewy emailed to say that they couldn't reach my vet to verify the Rx. My vet takes my calls every time, so Chewy didn't try very hard. That was annoying, but I scanned and emailed the signed script on the vet's prescription pad. Chewy responded that that wasn't good enough (but told me that that I could snail-mail the prescription). That's nonsense. Chewy is great at "cutesy" stuff like signing emails "over and snout" but then it comes to actual service, they are slow, unresponsive, hard to work with. Get your pet meds somewhere else.
