Why Buying Local Matters for Your Pet

(and Your Community)

​

I know it’s easy to jump online and order your pet’s medications from a big national retailer — we all love convenience. But when you choose to purchase through our hospital, you’re doing something that truly makes an impact.

​

More than 65% of the money spent at a locally owned business stays in the community, compared to a fraction of that when it goes to large out-of-state companies. That means your pharmacy order helps support real people right here in Oklahoma City — the technicians who hold your pet during vaccines, the team who comforts your dog during a tough day, and the clinic that’s here for you when you need us most.

When prescriptions come through us, they’re reviewed by someone who actually knows your pet — not a warehouse. You get medication that’s stored correctly, sourced safely, and matched to your pet’s medical history, not a generic online recommendation. It’s personal, accountable, and tailored to your pet, not a transaction in a giant system.

​

Purchasing locally helps us keep offering the kind of veterinary care that loving pet owners value most: modern medicine, transparent communication, and a team that treats your pet like a family member. It also helps keep independent veterinary hospitals alive in a world where big corporations are swallowing them up.

Choosing our pharmacy isn’t just about convenience — it’s about keeping your pet’s care connected, safe, and rooted in a community that actually knows you.

​

And for those who choose to support us this way: thank you. It genuinely makes a difference.
