6 Simple Ways Walmart Makes Pet Prescriptions a Breeze

Managing pet prescriptions might not be the most glamorous part of being a pet parent, but it’s definitely one of the most important. If you’ve ever found yourself scrambling to fill a prescription last minute or stressing over costs, Walmart might be the low-key lifesaver you didn’t know you needed. And while their pet prescription management service is available year-round, the end of the year is actually the perfect time to get your pet’s prescriptions in check. Here’s how Walmart can help you save time (and maybe some extra holiday stress) while keeping your pet healthy.

While everyone loves cozy winter days, no one loves cold-weather errands—especially when you’re trying to juggle everything else on your list. With Walmart’s pet prescription management, you can skip the pharmacy altogether and have your pet’s meds delivered right to your door. Whether your pet has a one-time need or takes routine medication, a few clicks and their prescriptions are on their way, leaving you more time for takeout sushi and streaming binges.

The Walmart app puts prescription management at your fingertips—from ordering refills to tracking deliveries, it’s easy to get your pet’s medications conveniently delivered with just a few taps.*

Here’s how it works: After talking to your vet about which prescriptions your pet needs, you can place the order online—just add your vet at checkout, Walmart will verify with them and you can expect delivery two to three days after your vet approves. Which means you can also rest easy knowing your pet will get their meds quickly, even when your schedule is packed with last-minute holiday plans.

We all know pet prescription costs can add up, but Walmart offers affordable options, including generics that are just as effective as the name-brand versions. Plus, if you’re trying to maximize your end-of-year savings, now’s the perfect time to take advantage of Walmart’s great prices on the pet supplies and essentials you love, without stressing over your wallet.

While shopping holiday gifts or stocking stuffers, Walmart also makes it easy to knock out your pet’s health needs. From prescriptions for flea and tick meds to their favorite treats, Walmart has everything your pet could need in one spot. Get it all done at once—because who doesn’t love the satisfaction of a fully crossed-off to-do list?

Between holiday prep, year-end work deadlines, and planning for 2025, keeping track of your pet’s prescriptions can easily slip through the cracks. Thankfully, Walmart’s Prescription Management service takes the stress out of remembering those refill dates. Set up automatic reminders through the Walmart app and rest assured knowing you’re giving your pet’s health as much attention as your own.

Walmart isn’t just for your groceries and gifts—it’s also a trusted name in pet care. With certified pharmacists managing your pet’s prescriptions, you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. It’s one less thing to stress about, and that’s the kind of energy we all need going into the new year.
