Callfield Companion will only let you buy prescription medications through their office or their online pharmacy. If you try to purchase medications through a reputable, licensed pharmacy, such as 1-800-Pet-Meds, they will claim they are unable to "guarantee the source and quality of the medication." This obviously a ploy to make more money at the cost of the consumer, and is unethical. The AVMA principles of ethics say that a veterinarian should, at a client's request, authorize prescriptions instead of only selling the medication themselves. I will be switching to a different veterinarian to save $75 on my dog's medications, but more importantly, to associate with an office that is ethical.
