Can Petco vets renew my cat's prescription, like budesonide?

Question

If I bring my cat in for an exam, can his current prescription be renewed by the vet at petco? His prescription for budesonide will run out soon and I was wondering if I could switch to petco vs a regular vet clinic/hospital. Thanks in advance!

If you live near a Petco that has a full service hospital then yes, you could talk to the vet about refilling your cat’s prescription. If your Petco has a Vetco vaccine clinic then the vet performs vaccines and routine preventative care only and would not be able to authorize refills. Based on the zip code you provided it doesn’t look like there is a full service hospital near you: https://stores.petco.com/vet-services?q=Rothschild,%20WI,%20USA
