All prescription medications are FDA approved.\n\nTo shop for pet prescriptions on Amazon through Vetsource, you’ll first want to search for your pet’s prescribed medication in the search bar in the Amazon Shopping app or on Amazon.com via your desktop. Next, add your pet’s prescription to your cart. At checkout, input your prescribing veterinarian’s information—and once approved by your veterinarian, eligible prescriptions will ship from one of Vetsource’s U.S. pharmacy locations. Shipping time typically ranges from 2-6 days.\n\n![Amazon Pet Days promotional banner featuring various pets including a dog, cat, rabbit, turtle, ferret, and parrot on yellow background, May 11-15](https://assets.aboutamazon.com/dims4/default/8137d01/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1688x1125+0+0/resize/300x200!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.aboutamazon.com%2F6b%2Fbc%2Fafc39ca44e36b485bdb7269ddd7f%2Fabout-amazon-hero-pet-day-hero-3-amazon-news-lt-041726.jpg)\n\n- [Amazon Pet Days returns May 11 with 5 days of deals for dogs, cats, and more](https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/retail/what-is-amazon-pet-day)\n\nWhen ordering prescriptions for first-time, Vetsource will contact the veterinarian for approval.
