Free dog medicine

biscuitsmom

Anyone interested in free dog medicine? I have many prescriptions left over from when Biscuit passed away. They cannot be returned. They are all recent, many don't expire for close to a year or 2. They include breathing meds, control cough, help with dementia, thyroid, anti-anxiety, pain pills, etc.... please message me if interested. Thanks

Maybe there is a nearby rescue that could use them?

I tried, thanks... great idea, but they refused, due to very justified safety concerns about tampering.

Ah, I suppose that makes sense. Too bad there is such a need to be suspicious these days.

So true I cant blame them, I would be *very* hesitant, myself. I offered them up on FB also, and a couple were spoken for, from long-term friends. Many remain...I just hate dumping literally hundreds of $ and pills if someone could use them

Have you checked with Biscuit's vet? When we lost our beloved dog, Teddy, a few years ago, the vets office reached out to us re his unused meds that they'd dispensed. They had a connection with a low income vet who welcomed the meds. We happily brought them back, at least some puppy could benefit was our thought....just like you're doing.

True, our vet will take back meds they dispensed from people they know and trust to use for customers that are struggling to provide them-- those customers are notified they may recieve these types of meds.

I'm glad to hear some vets will, but mine wont. Even though I've been a client for 20+ years.... it's not a trust concern with them regarding me...when Biscuit had his cancer surgery their policy was 50% payment before surgery, and I had a little less than 25%. They did it with no hesitation and we made payments for nearly a year afterwards till it was paid in full. They just don't accept any meds back, and really, I cant blame them. I'd be very leery of accepting them myself. They recommended I call the local Humane Society office, but they weren't interested either... a few are being taken by a longtime friend who works with a dog rescue group in PA, but I still have 8-10 different prescriptions... oh well, I tried
