Where can I find cheaper Buprenex injections for my pet's pain?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | neutered | 7 years and 10 months old | 8.3 lbs

I am looking for recommend. for a legit, safe place/pharmacy (online, call over phone, etc) that I can get Cash’s medication cheaper at. Specifically, our Buprenex injections. 4 (one time use) syringes costs us $70 from our vet. He is on a few meds so just being able to get the Buprenex cheaper would help a lot. Cerenia is expensive as well for only 4 tablets but Buprenex is a pain med. we’re able to get down & is for emergency times so we need it. (Can’t get tramadol down by any method) thanks!

Ask your veterinarian to write a prescription for the generic form of Buprenex which is buprenorphine. Contact local pharmacies in big stores (WalMart Target, Costco, etc) that may offer more affordable pricing. Other options include Wedgewood Pharmacy ( https://www.wedgewoodpharmacy.com/ ) or Diamondback Drugs ( http://www.diamondbackdrugs.com/ ). These are compounding pharmacies. Discuss other options with your veterinarian. He or she may have a preferred vendor or different options than the ones above.
