Refills & Repeat Delivery

Here, you will be able to view your active prescriptions. Simply click "Order refill" to add your active prescription to cart. Prescriptions, including refills, are fulfilled by Express Scripts Pharmacy in partnership with Petco.
Just like with one time delivery orders, you will need an active prescription from your vet within the last 12 months to order a pet pharmacy (RX) item on repeat delivery. Once you've found your pet's prescription, from the product page, use the repeat delivery drop down to select your desired shipment schedule, then select "Save with repeat delivery". Fill out your pet and vet information. (*Tip: Ensure your logged in to select any saved pet profiles.) Once you've completed your order, please allow 5 - 10 days for us to contact your vet, get approval, and deliver to you."
Yes, for the best experience and to avoid delays in shipment you will need to have open refills available on your pet's prescription.
If you have an account and previously ordered the prescription with us, your remaining refill information will be in My Pet Prescription. Otherwise, you will find the number of refills remaining and the "reorder after" date on the bottle. If you no longer have the bottle, please contact Customer Service and we will be happy to help you.
If you are ordering your refills through My Pet Prescriptions and no longer have refills remaining, simply add the item to your cart, check out, and we will contact your vet for approval. If you run out of open refills on your pet's prescription and a repeat delivery order is scheduled, please allow 5-10 days for us to contact your vet for approval. If your vet approves, you should receive a ship notification. If your vet does not approve, you will receive an order cancellation notice via email with reason for cancel. If your order is canceled for vet not approving, you may need to see your vet to renew your prescription. Prescriptions, including refills, are fulfilled by Express Scripts Pharmacy in partnership with Petco.

Then mail your prescription to:

Post-Purchase
We require someone be available to sign for refrigerated shipments as it is important that refrigerated prescriptions are placed in refrigerated storage immediately upon delivery. If they are left out, the product will spoil and a refund will not be issued.
If you notice your pet behaving abnormally after taking medication, contact the veterinarian who provided the prescription right away.
You cannot return prescription items in-store or by mail. If there is an issue with your prescription order, please call Customer Service at 1-877-738-6742.
Check for an expiration date printed by the manufacturer on the bottle or box, or on the pharmacy's label. Speak with your pharmacist or veterinarian if you have any questions about the safety of the medication. If the validity of any medication is in question for any reason, properly dispose of the product rather than risking the safety of your pet.
Your veterinary clinic can help you determine the best way to dispose of medications in your area. Our veterinary hospitals within select Petco stores will accept expired or leftover medications and dispose of them properly for you. More information on proper disposal of unused medicines can be found on the FDA website.
For questions about prescriptions, you can call Petco Customer Service at 1-877-738-6742.
