1 /5 Shane Devon: My dog was brought in to get a prescription of carprofen due to arthritis, it was made clear to the staff that the intent was to order the prescription online through a differenet pharmacy. The staff here did not state it wouldnt be possible to do through them. When i requested a copy of the prescription the manager told me she wont do that, despite wa state legislation stating they must.
This is an incredibly unethical business, in direct violation of the law.
