VetDispense is an independent, family-run UK Pet Dispensary offering worldwide shipping and great prices
Welcome to VetDispense, your trusted online supplier of Prescription Pet Medication and Supplements. Since 2008, we’ve been helping pet owners around the world save money on essential veterinary products without compromising on quality or service. Our mission is simple: to make pet healthcare affordable, transparent, and accessible to everyone who loves their animals as much as we do.
Our Story
Founded by experienced Veterinary Surgeons in 2008, VetDispense was created to tackle one of the biggest frustrations for pet owners, the high and often unpredictable cost of pet medication purchased directly from traditional veterinary practices. Following changes in UK legislation that gave pet owners the legal right to buy their animal’s prescription medication from reputable dispensaries, we saw an opportunity to make a real difference.
From our premises in Podington, on the Northamptonshire–Bedfordshire border, we have grown from a small dispensary into a trusted, international supplier. We proudly serve customers all over the world, delivering affordable, genuine veterinary medicines to pet owners who care deeply about their animals’ wellbeing.
Our Values
Quality & Safety
Every product we supply is sourced exclusively from the UK’s two leading veterinary wholesalers: National Veterinary Services (NVS) and MWI Animal Health. This means the medication you receive from us is exactly the same as what your Vet would use in their own practice. Each item is stored, handled, and dispensed according to strict regulatory standards, ensuring full traceability and peace of mind.
Affordability & Accessibility
By maintaining lower overheads than traditional veterinary surgeries and purchasing in bulk, we’re able to offer the same licensed veterinary medicines at savings of up to 60%. We believe that caring for your pet should never be a financial burden, and we work hard to keep our prices fair and transparent.
Expertise & Transparency
Our team includes qualified Veterinary Surgeons and Suitably Qualified Persons (SQPs) who bring years of professional experience to the service we provide. VetDispense is registered with both the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) and the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD), meaning we are independently inspected to ensure full compliance with all dispensing and storage regulations.
Why Are Medications Cheaper at VetDispense?
Pet owners often ask how VetDispense can offer identical medications at a fraction of the price charged by local veterinary practices. The answer is simple: efficiency and scale. While traditional practices must cover the costs of premises, consultation rooms, and smaller order volumes, we focus solely on dispensing. By streamlining our operations predominantly online and purchasing in large quantities, we can pass those savings directly on to our customers without compromising on authenticity or quality.
Are the Medications You Sell Genuine?
Absolutely. We understand that online shoppers must be cautious when purchasing medications, especially for their pets. At VetDispense, every single product comes directly from verified UK veterinary wholesalers, NVS and MWI Animal Health. The same suppliers used by every veterinary practice in the country. There are no third parties, no parallel imports, and no substitutions. This ensures that every medication we sell is 100% genuine, licensed, and traceable.
Our registration with the RCVS and VMD means our facilities are routinely inspected, guaranteeing that all medicines are stored under optimal conditions and dispensed according to the highest professional standards.
How to Order
Simply order directly through our secure website and upload or email us your prescription (if required). Our online chat agents are always happy to help with questions about your pet’s medication, dosage, or general healthcare needs.
Please note that while our staff are fully qualified to dispense and advise on medication use, we cannot diagnose illnesses. If your pet is unwell, it is essential that you consult your Veterinary Surgeon for a diagnosis. Once you have a written prescription, you can simply upload it or email it to us.
