Save on prescriptions by purchasing directly from your veterinarian at Animal Kind Veterinary Hospital

We are giving you this explanation either because we received a fax from an online pharmacy for prescription authorization or you requested a written prescription for your pet.

As of April 19, 2006 a new law came into effect that will effectively combat prescription fraud, an ever-increasing problem that drives up healthcare costs and threatens the safety of New York's citizens by diverting drugs from legitimate medical use. The new law, section 21 of the Public Health Law, requires that all prescriptions written in New York (for both controlled and non-controlled substances) be issued on an official New York State prescription form.

Because of this new law we are no longer permitted to use a fax back form the online pharmacies send us. We must write a prescription on a New York State prescription form. These prescription forms have a secure paper that when faxed appears with "VOID" printed on it on the receiving end or if a copy is made. We are willing to provide you with a written prescription which you could send them if you would prefer.

We also want you to know that the recent television advertisements from Pet Meds Express are misleading. One would expect from their advertisement that the cost of the same medications purchased through them would save you significant amounts of money. The same medications purchased here cost the same as or a little bit more. Although unlikely, should there be an adverse reaction to Interceptor or Frontline Plus we will stand behind these products and you would not be charged for any medical expenses that result. Because of this added value, the additional time and effort you would need to mail the prescription elsewhere, and the fact that we know you and your pet, you are better off purchasing your medications directly from us.

If for convenience you seek to have the medications delivered to you we will send them to you by Priority Mail for a charge of $1.99 total. Of course you could pick them up here instead at no additional charge. You could even email us at or fax us at 718-832-3904 with your request at any time, day or night.
