How do I refill my pet’s medications?
In order to prescribe medications or veterinary diets, an annual exam is required to maintain an active doctor-client-patient relationship. Certain medications may necessitate more frequent exams and/or lab tests. All medication refills must be approved by a doctor, even if they are regularly prescribed. Please allow 24-48 hours for your refill request to be processed.
Refills not picked up within three weeks of ordering will be returned to stock.
How often should my pet have an exam?
Grayslake Animal Hospital recommends annual visits for most healthy adult pets. These visits include a physical examination by our veterinarians, along with vaccinations, parasite screenings, preventive medications, and any necessary lab tests.
For puppies and kittens, more frequent visits are needed during their first year to complete their vaccine series, address parasite treatments, and establish proper preventive care. Senior pets should also have more frequent check-ups to detect potential issues early, with most veterinarians advising biannual visits. For pets with medical conditions, the veterinarian will determine the appropriate follow-up schedule based on each individual case.
What if I need to cancel my appointment?
If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, we ask that you give us at least 24 hours’ notice. A fee will be charged if you fail to show up without calling first.
