Virginia CVS Pharmacies Now Offering Dog, Cat Medications

Virginia CVS pharmacies are now offering prescription medications for dogs and cats.

The Rhode Island-based company made the announcement Tuesday.

"Pet owners can fill prescriptions for select pet-only medications, including antibiotics, allergy, flea and tick control, insulin, and pain relievers, at their local CVS Pharmacy, expanding access to essential pet health care," CVS said in a media release.

CVS said allowing pet owners to fill prescriptions at its pharmacies could make it easier and more convenient to obtain medications, helping reduce delays in treatment.

"With the addition of pet medication dispensing, CVS Pharmacy can now serve every member of the family," said Sid Tenneti, senior vice president and interim president of Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness for CVS Health.

CVS has more than 340 store locations in Virginia, spread across 127 cities.
