Have you ever had a sick kitty and wondered if you could simply get a prescription for your feline friend online? The answer is no, but you can get a prescription from your normal vet and fill that online. Most online veterinarians aren’t allowed to write prescriptions because they can’t establish a veterinary-client-patient relationship (VCPR). This is a connection between a veterinarian, a pet parent (you), and your pet. In most states, a vet must see your pet in person to create a VCPR.

If you feel like chewing on sugar cane, the worst that will happen is that you’ll need to give your teeth a really good clean and you’ll need some dental floss to dislodge any fibrous residue stuck in your teeth!
