Safe, Careful and Tracked, Every Time

We take care of your pet's medication from our pharmacy counter all the way to your door. Every order is reviewed, dispensed, and shipped by our licensed pharmacy team to ensure accuracy, safety, and peace of mind.

Simple Process

How Shipping Works

From prescription review to secure packaging and tracked delivery, our pharmacy team keeps your order safe at every step.

1
🛒

Place Your Order

Browse products, add items to your cart, and complete checkout. Shipping rates are calculated automatically based on your location and order total.

2
📄

Prescription Review

Prescription medications require a valid veterinary prescription. Upload it at checkout, have your vet send it, or let us contact your vet on your behalf.

3
💊

Dispensing & Preparation

Once verified, our licensed pharmacy team dispenses and packages your medication. Once your order is confirmed (and, for prescription items, your prescription is verified), it takes up to 3 to 5 business days for us to ship your package. After it ships, delivery time depends on the carrier and your location, so please plan accordingly. You'll receive tracking as soon as it leaves our pharmacy. Some medications may need to be ordered from our supplier, which can add to this timeline. If your order will take a little longer, we'll let you know right away.

Shipping Costs

Free shipping over $100

Free shipping applies to most orders over $100, with two exceptions.

❄️

Refrigerated products

Please place your order as usual. Because cold-chain packaging (box size and ice packs) makes these shipments more complex, a member of our pharmacy team will contact you with your actual shipping quote before we proceed. The shipping amount shown at checkout is an estimate only. You're also welcome to call us at 1-855-560-PMFL (7635) for a quote.

📦

Oversized or high-cost shipments

Larger items or items with unusually high shipping costs may carry additional shipping charges. If you'd like a quote before ordering, please call us at 1-855-560-PMFL (7635).

❄️

Refrigerated & Specialty Medications

Some medications require temperature-controlled packaging to maintain their effectiveness. If your order includes a refrigerated product, a member of our pharmacy team will contact you with your actual shipping quote before we proceed. The shipping amount shown at checkout is an estimate only. You can also call us at 1-855-560-PMFL (7635) for a quote.

Please ensure someone is available to receive and refrigerate the package promptly upon delivery. PetMedsForLess.ca is not responsible for products compromised due to delayed retrieval after confirmed delivery.

🛡️

Insured Shipments

We pack every order with care and hand it off to trusted carriers. All shipments are insured for their full declared value, helping protect your order during transit.
