Prescriptions

Ordering and receiving your horse's prescription is quick and easy with B&W.

We can prescribe medicines on prescription for your horse if necessary, after they have had an initial assessment. 

Each of our clinics operate a small pharmacy which is supported by the pharmacy at our Hospital in Breadstone. This means prescriptions can be collected from any of our clinics or can be posted out directly to you.

Terms and Conditions for prescription medicines:

• You may obtain relevant veterinary medicinal products from B&W Equine Vets OR ask for a prescription and obtain these medicines from another veterinary surgeon or pharmacy. Your veterinary surgeon may prescribe relevant veterinary medicinal products only following a clinical assessment of an animal under his/her care.
• A prescription may not be appropriate if your animal is an in-patient or if immediate treatment is necessary.
• You will be informed, on request, of the price of any medicine that may be prescribed for your animal.
  The general policy of B&W Equine Vets is to re-assess an animal requiring repeat prescriptions for supplies of relevant veterinary medicinal products every 6 months, but this may vary with individual circumstances. The standard charge for a repeat prescription re-examination is £59.50 (Oct 2025)
• The standard charge for issuing a prescription to be fulfilled elsewhere is £31.50 (Oct 2025). The charge for a repeat prescription is £21 (Oct 2025).
• Further information on the prices of medicines is available on request.
• If ordering your products from an internet retailer we recommend you use a website accredited by the VMD Accredited Internet Retailer Scheme (AIRS).

Prescriptions by collection or post

Please allow 3 working days for us to process a prescription and make the medications available to you.  We must adhere to strict legal guidelines when dispensing medication and all prescriptions must be signed off by a vet.

Please note that, in accordance with regulations set out by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), we are not permitted to resell, or donate to charity, any unused medicines returned to us. This is because once medicines leave our possession, we cannot control the conditions in which they are stored and, therefore, the safety and efficacy of any medicines returned to us cannot be guaranteed. 

For these reasons, we do not provide a refund for any unused medicines. 

We encourage you to return unused medicines to us for safe disposal. Please do not dispose of them in your household waste.
