Secret to nabbing pet meds for less

-

Your pal needs a new medication, but you worry it will be costly. Next time your vet writes a prescripti­on, ask him if there’s a human equivalent— many times there is, and you can bring the Rx to your pharmacy for savings. The reason? Chains like CVS, Target, Walmart and RiteAid often get bulk discounts that they pass on to you. You could save up to 70%. Plus, they may have a petfriendl­y formulatio­n that tastes like peanut butter or beef, so your pet is more likely to take his meds.
