# What if my vet will not write a prescription?

While we find that most veterinarians in Australia are usually more than happy to write a prescription, they are not legally required to do so when requested. If your vet is unwilling to write a prescription, then you can try to find another vet in your area who is happy to write prescriptions. Your pet will require a full consultation with the new vet before they can write a prescription.

If you're still having trouble then please email us at info@petchemist.com.au or call us on 02 8607 8277

  and we can help you find a vet in your area that will write prescriptions after a consultation with your pet.
