Company
Overview
1800PetMeds is a nationally recognized pet pharmacy service, which provides pet owners with a convenient option for purchasing both name brand and generic pet medications, at a lower price than one may find at their Veterinarian’s office or local pet store. PetMeds currently offers over 3000 products to cat and dog owners, that can be easily purchased on the 1800PetMeds website, and are shipped quickly to the consumers. More recently, PetMeds has added various Pet supplies, which consumers purchase through the 1800PetMeds website, but are shipped from outside companies. Although PetMeds is known mainly for their pet medications, adding more pet products has presented consumers the additional benefit of shopping for their pets needs through a single retailer.
