What does this 
icon mean?
Products with the Refrigeration Required symbol are packed with ice packs. Any order with refrigerated items can only be shipped using express shipping methods (Xpresspost or Priority). Packages packed with ice packs are only ship on Mondays & Tuesdays only, depending on destination. If you've ordered after your region's cutoff day it will ship the following week to minimize the time your package is with Canada Post and at their depots. We encourage our customers to track their package for their arrival. Upon arrival, be sure to check the temperature and place the item in a refrigerated environment as soon as possible.

Please note, we cannot accept photocopies, scans, or pictures of a prescription created by you, the customer.
3.) Download the Pet Drug Mart prescription form, print it, fill in the top half, bring it to your veterinarian and ask them to fill in the bottom section and have your vet fax it back to us at 1-866-462-3907 (select option "Send by Fax" at checkout)
