[nagdu] money saving on pet prescriptions

[The Pawpower Pack]

Hi guys, I just wanted to write and share something which is saving me  
quite a bit of money.  My twelve-year-old retired guide, Bristol is on  
Enalapril for high blood pressure.  It is a human medication and isn't  
carried by most pet pharmacies like 1800 pet meds.  I was paying 25  
dollars for a month's supply at my vets.  My husband called Walgreens  
today to ask how much it would be and it's 11 dollars for two months  
supply after you pay a 20 dollar yearly fee to sign up.  You can get  
all your pet's prescriptions after paying the yearly fee once if they  
are human drugs under this plan and it's a lot cheaper than buying  
from the vet.  This works well for me because Bristol is also on pred  
forte for her eyes which is also a human drug.  I'm not sure if they  
cover pet-specific medications but I don't think they do.  I'm going  
to get more information about it tomorrow.  My vet is faxing over the  
prescription today and I'll pick it up at the same Walgreens where I  
get my own medications. It's going to save me a great deal of money  
and time, and if your dog takes medications and if you live near  
Walgreens it may be a good option.

I don't work for Walgreens and they aren't paying me; I just wanted to  
share.

Happy St. Patrick's day, everyone!
