Pet Rescue Rx Online Pharmacy Review

Being a pet parent is amazing.  The love that these bundles of fur give is beyond compare.  However, pet parenthood isn't just about the snuggles and walkies.

As more dogs joined our pack, the cost of their flea, tick, and heart worm preventative increased.  These pups definitely need to be protected, but the prices at veterinarian offices have skyrocketed.  A six month supply of Advantage Multi costs almost $100...per pack!

Our 15 year old Chihuahua developed anxiety last October after suddenly going blind due to glaucoma and now has to take anti-anxiety pills every day.  He also takes medication for arthritis in his back.  Hope, our blind and deaf double dapple Dachshund, has an extreme grass allergy that keeps her scratching all night if not medicated.  She also needs to take a low dose of Melatonin to help regulate her sleep cycle since she can't see or hear.

The cost of the medications and preventatives is staggering.  I quickly took to the Internet to find a more cost effective solution.  My search brought me to the Pet Rescue Rx website.  I love the variety of products that they offer.  From vitamins and supplements to syringes and first aid kits, they truly are a one stop shop.







What I like even more than their inventory is their dedication to animal shelters and rescue groups across the country.  All of the profits from each product purchase go directly to the shelter/rescue of the customer's choosing.  I was thrilled to see Stray Rescue St. Louis among the options listed. 

Founder Glenn Buckley, DVM, knows the needs of the animals that are in his care on a daily basis.  Yet, he hasn't forgotten the shelter animals that have touched his life on his journey to become a veterinarian.  Buckley is always reminded of the constant demand that shelters and rescue groups have for food, toys, medical supplies, etc.

Seeking to take the burden of continuous fundraising away from dedicated shelter staff and volunteers, he created Pet Rescue Rx.  Buckley remains true to his motto of "a pets before profits pharmacy."  He receives no compensation from the site.  To date, the pharmacy has donated over $100,000 to 500 plus shelters and rescues.

I have personally used this pharmacy for over five years.  I love their prices and the ability to give back to a local rescue (especially one that I also volunteer for).  My orders always arrive in a timely manner and I never have to worry about my pets not being protected due to product cost.

The ordering process is seamless.  Simply create an account and then add each of your pets.  Provide the name of your veterinarian and then select your product.  When you head to the checkout, you will be prompted to select which animal shelter/rescue group you would like your product purchase funds to be allotted to.  Now, sit back and enjoy the feeling of knowing that you've just helped animals in need while taking care of your own.

As a pet parent to five rescue dogs and three cats, I highly recommend this online pharmacy.  Their compassion and dedication to helping animals is truly amazing.

Exclusive Book Cover Reveal!

Today, The Furever Home Friends is revealing the cover for their new book, Just Me, Wrigley! See the cover below!






Wrigley loves to dance. She can shake her tail all over the animal shelter. But for some people, Wrigley’s rhythm isn’t enough. Wrigley is a mutt; she doesn’t know what breed she is. While others come to the shelter looking for schnauzers, labs, and Dalmatians, Wrigley wonders when it will be her turn. Can Wrigley find the confidence to stay true to herself and dance her way into a forever home?

Like with all Furever Home Friends books, 10% of this book’s profits will benefit no-kill animal shelters!

Just Me, Wrigley is currently available for preorder on fureverhomefriends.com, and will officially release on Amazon on Saturday, August 11!


What do you think of the cover? Let me know in the comments below!

Having Hope Always T-Shirt Campaign

Hope is one very special ween.  She is a mini double dapple dachshund.  The product of a backyard breeder, Hope was born without eyes and is completely deaf.  When the breeder discovered Hope's disabilities, he wanted to kill her.  Thankfully, the man's wife stepped in and claimed Hope as her own.

Several years later, the wife passed away.  The breeder then surrendered Hope to Dachshund Rescue North America with a choke chain around her neck.  The rescue quickly found a loving foster family for Hope where she flourished.

A fated Internet search for dachshunds brought me to Hope's photo.  I knew immediately that she was the doxie for me.  I hurriedly completed the adoption application and the rest is history.

Hope is feisty, fearless, and a never-ending source of inspiration.  She doesn't let anything hold her back from living her best life.






Hope is known to her Facebook and Instagram followers as the Queen Ween.  She definitely rules our hearts!

We have created a t-shirt campaign to help raise awareness about double dapples while also shedding light on the importance of adopting differently-abled animals.

To order your shirt, simply click on the link:  https://www.customink.com/fundraising/having-hope-always-campaign







We will be donating 20% of the profits raised from the sale of the shirts to Dachshund Rescue North America, the very rescue that saved Hope's life.  Please help us spread the word that being differently-abled doesn't mean disabled!
