Can Petco vets diagnose my dog and prescribe medication online?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Shetland Sheepdog | Male | neutered | 12 years and 7 months old | 19 lbs

Is Diagnosing and Prescribing Medicines for my 13 and a half year old Shetland Sheepdog (Male) Offered here and Safe and Secure for my little dog? And Can Prescribed Medicines for my little Sheltie be called or faxed to the local Walgreens Pharmacy I regularly use here? (Mississippi USA)

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Unfortunately we can not prescribe medications. The law requires a Veterinary Client Patient Relationship and to have this an in person examination of the pet is needed to prescribe medications. We are here to provide advice and support. If Laddie is sick and needs medications I recommend contacting his Veterinarian. I wish you the best!
