📢 Prescription Refill Reminders from South Hyland Pet Hospital

We’d like to share a few reminders about how prescription refills are processed at South Hyland Pet Hospital. Our goal is to keep things transparent so we can continue to serve all our patients efficiently, accurately, and safely. ❤️

🩺 How to Request a Refill

The fastest, most accurate ways to request refills are through:
🔹 The PetDesk App, or
🔹 Our website’s Rx Refill Request Form
(link at the top of our homepage)

You can also text us your request — just include your pet’s name, the medication name, current dose (what you’re currently giving), and quantity needed.

Using these methods helps keep our phone lines free and allows us to process requests more efficiently. If we have any questions, we’ll reach out!

⏱ Processing Time

Please allow 24–72 hours for refill requests to be completed.
As a full-service hospital (not just a pharmacy), refills are reviewed and approved by our veterinarians between patient appointments, so same-day or “ASAP” refills aren’t always possible.
We’ll always text, call, or email when your prescription is ready for pickup.

✅ Prescription Requirements

A valid VCPR (Veterinarian/Client/Patient Relationship) is required for all prescriptions. This means your pet must have been seen by one of our vets within the last 12 months (or more recently for certain conditions).

All prescriptions are prepared by a trained staff member, double-checked, and approved by a veterinarian in accordance with AAHA standards.

💊 Controlled Substances & Drugs of Concern

These medications cannot be filled in advance — they can only be filled upon your arrival for pickup.
To speed things up, please text or call when you’re on your way so we can start preparing your medication.

🏪 Third-Party Pharmacy Requests

Please allow extra time for third-party pharmacy refills, as these take longer to process.
If you’d like to refill through another pharmacy, contact them first — they’ll reach out to us for approval.

We also offer written prescriptions if you prefer to fill elsewhere. For security reasons, these cannot be emailed but can be:
📄 Picked up at our hospital, or
📬 Sent directly to the pharmacy of your choice.

Please note: we do not price shop for outside pharmacies — clients are responsible for comparing prices.

🐾 Prescription Diets

For prescription pet food, we recommend ordering through our online pharmacy:
👉 southhyland.myvetstoreonline.pharmacy/shop

Orders ship free to your home within a few days!
If you prefer in-hospital pickup, please contact us 1–2 weeks in advance to ensure we have it in stock (our food deliveries come once weekly).

⚗️ Special Order & Compounded Medications
Please allow 1–2 weeks of advance notice for special order or compounded medications.

We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we carefully manage each prescription to meet medical and safety standards. Thank you for helping us keep the process smooth for everyone! 💙

🚧 Parking Lot Update 🚧

Heads up! On Monday, October 6 and Wednesday, October 8, the driveway between our building (5400 W Old Shakopee Rd) and 5402 W Old Shakopee Rd will be partially to fully closed for repairs to the ramp at our employee entrance on the west side.

During this time, please use the shared driveway between Bobby & Steve’s on the east side to access our parking lot.

We know it feels like the construction never ends — can you believe it’s been almost a year since our remodel started? Most of the big work wrapped up late spring/early summer, and now we’re just finishing a few final touches.

Thank you for your patience (and sense of humor!) as we wrap this up.

As dogs age, changes in the brain can affect memory, learning, and behavior. If your pet seems disoriented, has trouble sleeping, or doesn’t respond to familiar commands, it’s time to talk about cognitive health. We’re here to help you identify the signs and build a care plan. Book a senior wellness and cognition checkup by calling (952) 884-1868. 🐾🔍
