Prescription Refills and Requests

Please note: By Oregon law, a licensed veterinarian must have a valid Veterinary-Client-Patient Relationship with you and your animal in order to provide veterinary services.^[1] This means that a licensed veterinarian must have performed an exam within the last year in order for a prescription to be filled, a vaccine to be administered, or other health services performed.^[2] You can find additional details on the Oregon Veterinary Medial Association web site. In order to assure the safety and well being of your pet, Aloha Dog & Cat Hospital follows Oregon law when prescribing medication.
