GLEN BURNIE, MD (September 1, 2009) - VetCentric, Inc., the nation's largest veterinary-focused pharmacy offering home delivery of FDA- and EPA-approved pharmaceuticals, compounded medications, and prescription and therapeutic diets to pet owners on behalf of veterinary practices, today announced a new free shipping offer that saves pet owners money while increasing compliance.
VetCentric is offering all customers free shipping with no minimum order size when pet owners enroll in its AutoRefill service. AutoRefill is convenient, reliable and proven to dramatically increase compliance. With AutoRefill, all prescription refills are automatically shipped to the pet owner’s home when needed, so they never have to worry about missing a dose. Shipping is free for the original fill as well as all refills, making shipping free for the life of the prescription.
This unique offer is designed to link compliance with savings and provides pet owners with a terrific value. Improving pet owner compliance in support of their veterinarian’s treatment regimen has been proven to keep pets healthier, making for happier owners and more successful clinics.
A recent survey of pet owners from across the U.S. conducted by VetCentric showed that 87% of pet owners felt, “it is important to have automatic refills of their pet's medications so they do not have to worry about missing a dose.” Vetcentric’s new free shipping offer is another way the company helps pet owners adhere to their veterinarian's prescribed treatment regimen.
“This offer showcases VetCentric’s steadfast commitment to animal health. A 2009 Veterinary Economics State of the Industry Study revealed that, ‘70% of [veterinarians] say that client compliance has fallen because of the recession.’ VetCentric's commitment to the Veterinarian-Client-Patient Relationship is the keystone of our business, and subsidizing shipping costs illustrates our dedication to increasing compliance,” said Ted Root, President and CEO of VetCentric.
