💜 Important Update: Written Prescriptions & Veterinary Medicines 💜
With upcoming changes to veterinary regulations, medicines and prescribing requirements, we are already working towards adapting our processes to ensure MobiVET continues to prescribe medicines safely, responsibly and in line with regulatory requirements.
As part of this, our written prescription fees have been updated:
💊 Written prescription, single product : £21.00
💊 Written prescription, two products: £32.50
Products must be on the same prescription paper, same category and for the same patient.
💜 Our medication policy on prescribing quantities
There are practice policy limits and regulated restrictions around the quantity of medicines that can be supplied or prescribed.
🔹 Controlled drugs will normally be limited to a maximum 30 day supply.
🔹 Non controlled POM V and non controlled human medicines will normally be limited to a maximum 90 day supply.
The quantity prescribed may be less depending on the individual patient, medication, clinical circumstances and any monitoring or review requirements.
💜 What about human medicines?
Human medicines cannot simply be selected as a first line alternative because they may be cheaper or more readily available.
Veterinary surgeons are required to prescribe in accordance with the veterinary prescribing cascade. Where an appropriate authorised veterinary medicine is available, this will generally be our first option. Alternative medicines, including human medicines, can only be considered where clinically appropriate and permitted under the prescribing cascade.
Veterinary medicines legislation and professional prescribing guidelines are extremely robust. Our veterinary surgeons are unable to prescribe medicines outside of these requirements, whether we are dispensing the medication directly or issuing a written prescription.
💜 Regular veterinary reviews still apply
Receiving medication through a written prescription does not remove the requirement for appropriate veterinary consultations and medication reviews.
Your pet will still need to be reviewed at appropriate intervals to ensure their medication and dose remain suitable, identify any changes in their health and complete any monitoring or testing required.
All consultations, medication reviews and rechecks are charged at our usual full rates and are separate from the written prescription fee.
💜 Before purchasing medication online, we kindly ask you to consider the following:
1️⃣ Please ask us for a price first
We completely understand that some veterinary medicines may be available at a lower price through online pharmacies.
However, many of our medication prices are now extremely competitive. When comparing prices, remember to consider the cost of the written prescription alongside the cost of purchasing the medication from an external online pharmacy.
You may find that purchasing directly from MobiVET is closer in price than you expected, so please ask our team for a price first.
2️⃣ Supporting your independent veterinary practice
We appreciate that purchasing directly from your veterinary practice will not always be possible, and we completely understand that household budgets matter.
When you purchase medication from an independent veterinary practice, you are supporting a local business, local employment, our veterinary team and the facilities and services we provide to our community.
Large online veterinary pharmacies operate on a very different scale to independent veterinary practices. Where the difference in cost is manageable for you, we simply ask that you consider supporting your local independent practice. 💜
3️⃣ Don't forget our own online pharmacy
MobiVET also has a Vetsource online pharmacy available through our website.
This gives our registered clients another convenient and competitively priced option, with eligible medications delivered directly from the warehouse to your door while your purchase still supports MobiVET.
💜 There is no separate written prescription fee when ordering eligible medication through our Vetsource online pharmacy.
Your pet must still meet the appropriate clinical and prescribing requirements, including any consultations, medication reviews or monitoring required by the prescribing veterinary surgeon.
So, if convenience, competitive pricing and home delivery are important to you, please consider our online pharmacy before purchasing elsewhere.

Thank you, as always, for supporting your local independent veterinary practice and our team 💜
