Do I need to have a prescription on hand before I order a prescription item?
It is not required to have a written prescription on hand when you place your order, but Chewy Pharmacy must have a patient-specific prescription from a licensed veterinarian on file before it can dispense a medication. At checkout, simply select “I want Chewy to contact my vet” and we will contact your veterinarian on your behalf to get your pet’s prescription. If you prefer and have a written prescription when you place your order, you can mail it to: Chewy Pharmacy, 3621 Fern Valley Rd, Louisville, KY 40219. Mailing in a prescription will likely lead to longer ship times.
Do prescription medications require authorization from my veterinarian?
Yes. Chewy Pharmacy can only dispense medication with a valid, patient-specific prescription from a licensed veterinarian.
Will you contact my veterinarian directly to approve my prescription medication?

Can I set up auto refills for medications that treat a chronic condition?
