Pharmacy
Virgin Valley Veterinary Hospital is very proud to have its own in-house pharmacy on site. This holds many advantages for the veterinarian as well as our clients. Years ago, any clients that came in had to have their prescriptions filled at human pharmacies and those medicines were not covered by health insurance, therefore medicine came at a high cost. By having a pharmacy inside our clinic, our staff is able to supply basic medicines such as blood pressure pills, corticosteroids, topical skin medicine, pain medicine and specialty medicines such as heartworm treatment, degenerative joint medicines and cancer treatment. The manufacturers of these medicines regularly educate our veterinarians and staff by having representatives come in and teach the uses of each medicine, and the potential set backs by not using certain medicines. By working closely with the manufacturers of the medicines, our clinic is guaranteed each medicine will work. Any issues our clients or veterinarians may have with the medicine is immediately addressed by the manufacturer and corrected in a timely manner. In today’s world of online discount pharmacies, you will not find this type of service due to the fact that most manufacturers will not work directly with the online supplier.
