REFILL POLICY

In order for us to refill medications, your pet must be a current patient with Chicagoland Veterinary Behavior Consultants. By law, we cannot refill prescriptions beyond one year of your pet’s last visit with us.

If you feel your pet needs adjustments in doses or changes in medication please schedule a follow up consultation with Dr. Jokela. Please call 630-231-1544 or email cvbehaviorconsultants.@gmail.com for scheduling.
If we have not seen your pet in-person in the last 12 months, please schedule an annual follow-up consult with us, by calling 630-231-1544, or emailing cvbehaviorconsultants.@gmail.com.
Alternatively, if your pet is doing well on the medication(s), prescription authorization can be transferred to your primary care veterinarian.
If your pet is on medication long term, blood work (CBC/Chemistry Profile and T4 thyroid screening test), should be performed every 6-12 months. This lab work should be performed by your primary care veterinarian.

CHOOSING A PHARMACY FOR YOUR PET’S MEDICATIONS

Since most of behavioral medications that we prescribe, are medications that are made for humans but are used in an off-label manner for veterinary patients, prescriptions can be filled through your local human pharmacy.

Most of the human medications we prescribe are generics so they are usually inexpensive. However costs can vary widely pharmacy to pharmacy.

We strongly advise price checking before selecting the pharmacy you wish to use. A great way to find best pricing is by going to goodrx.com and using their coupons. Simply put in your zip code, the name and strength of the medication and the amount we have authorized to find the best pricing in your area.

When requesting refills, you will need to let us know the pharmacy name and phone number.
