Summary
CVS will let customers fill common dog and cat prescriptions at about 9,000 U.S. pharmacy locations, widening its push into pet health care.
Eligible medications include antibiotics, allergy treatments, flea and tick products, insulin and pain relievers, with pet owners able to bring written prescriptions or have veterinarians send them directly.
Delivery, automatic refills and prescription synchronization will be available for some pet medications, and owners can manage eligible orders through CVS.com profiles and the CVS Health app.
Electronic prescribing for veterinarians is expected in the coming months, extending an offering that gives owners another option beyond vet offices, online pet pharmacies and specialty retailers.
CVS, which also sells more pet food and wellness products, did not say how much the new prescription service could add to sales.
