Order Prescription and Pet Food

Folly Gardens is here to help, please order your pets medications and specialist food through the below form.

The law states that you may obtain Prescription Only Medicines, Category V (POM-V) from your veterinary surgeon, OR ask for a prescription to obtain these medicines from another veterinary surgeon or pharmacy.

If you require a ‘prescription only’ (but no medication) please telephone the practice directly. Please note a ‘prescription only’ order may not be appropriate if your animal is an inpatient or if immediate treatment is necessary.

The price of any medication dispensed for your pet is available at any time, on request. Please give us 2-3 working days prior to collecting your pets’ medicine or prescription. This is to allow our vets sufficient time to evaluate the case, order and dispense the medicines.

At this time prescription medication can be delivered to your door by post or collected from your preferred clinic. Please indicate your preference for Postal delivery or Collection, there is a small charge for postage which will be added to your invoice.

For certain drugs (listed below) postage is not permitted.

• Diazepam
• Epiphen
• Soliphen
• Tramadol
• Tralieve
• Xanax
• Palladia

Together with any other controlled drugs which may be prescribed from time to time.

Food orders – collection only.

On 1st September 2023 our regulatory body, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) introduced new guidance on prescribing prescription-only medicines.

The new guidance requires that a physical examination of your pet must be performed every time any antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals and antiparasiticides are prescribed.

The guidance is an important step towards ensuring responsible antimicrobial use and reduces the veterinary impact on the wider issues of global antibiotic resistance and decline in insect populations.

How will this affect you?
Your pet will need to come in for an in-person consultation and examination every time:

• That we need to prescribe antibiotics – whether in tablet form or in topicals (such as ear and eye preparations).
• We/you decide to change from one flea/worm/tick product to another or have not been seen within the last 12 months.

We are unable to dispense the above medications based on urine/faecal testing alone.

For long term prescription medication that is not an antimicrobial/antiparasitic, our usual policy of requiring an examination every 3 months continues to apply.

The consultations will be charged at our usual fees.

You can read the full guidance from the RCVS on their website.
