Repeat Prescriptions

How to Request a Repeat Prescription

If your pet is already under our care and has previously been prescribed medication, you can request a repeat prescription by contacting the clinic directly.

To ensure safe and responsible prescribing, please allow a minimum of 48 hours’ notice for all repeat prescription requests.

We will contact you once your medication has been authorised and is ready for collection from:

• Cara Vet Group, Ballycoolin Hospital, Dublin 15 - Phone: 01 885 3253

Important Information Before Requesting Medication

All repeat prescriptions are subject to veterinary approval and clinical guidelines.

Please note:

• Your pet must be under the care of our veterinary team
• Some medications require a recent clinical examination before they can be dispensed
• Monitoring tests may be required for long-term medications
• Repeat prescriptions require a MINIMUM of 24 hours notice. Orders placed before 3pm will be ready for collection the next working day. Orders placed after 3pm will be ready 48 hours after placing order.

Why Do Some Medications Require Re-Examination?

Animals on prescription only medications, need to be seen by a Vet a MINIMUM of every 6 months.
