Unlike human prescriptions, pet meds usually aren\u2019t covered by insurance, which means you\u2019re often charged full cash price with no discounts, no co-pays, and no protection from inflated costs. The good news? There\u2019s a simple, completely free way to slash those prices, and the iHeartDogs Rx Savings Card could end up saving you a shocking amount on your dog\u2019s medications.<\/p>\n<h2><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/shutterstock_2199884231-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3927026\"\/><\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><strong>If you\u2019ve ever purchased a prescription for your dog at a regular people pharmacy, you might be in for a BIG surprise!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Many pet owners don\u2019t realize that there are ways to save on pet prescriptions. Yes, and I mean WITHOUT insurance! You\u2019ve probably realized that even if you have a good pet insurance policy, it\u2019s unlikely to cover costly pet meds. This means that if you\u2019re buying your dog\u2019s prescription at a regular pharmacy, you\u2019re likely paying a hefty price, since no insurance co-pays are involved. The iHeartDogs Rx Savings Card might just be a HUGE help!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What kind of medications are eligible for discounts?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now let\u2019s be upfront. The iHeartDogs Rx Savings Card will <em>not<\/em> help you if you\u2019re buying a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">pet-only<\/span> medication (like flea or heartworm prevention) through an online-only pharmacy or through your vet. <em><strong>However, a large percentage of pet drugs are available at your local pharmacy.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>If this is in fact the case, you may receive a substantial discount by using this card.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>But wait, what\u2019s the catch? Nothing is really <em>free,<\/em> right?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes and no. The reality is, local pharmacies want your business. (In fact, they make most of their money from <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">other<\/span> products people buy when they come in to fill prescriptions!) For this reason, pharmacies will pay a small fee in order to drive business into their stores. Because we can bring a large volume of customers to them, discounts are negotiated on your behalf, and you benefit from bulk discount pricing. This allows you to receive a price that, in most cases, is much lower than the usual and customary price your pharmacy charges when you are buying a pet prescription using no insurance.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Our Card Is Accepted by Nearly Every Pharmacy!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>That\u2019s right. Below you\u2019ll see a sampling of the pharmacies that accept the card. You\u2019ve got absolutely nothing to lose, simply present the card to see if the pricing we offer is better than what you\u2019re normally charged.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/participating-pharmacy-pet-discount-card.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"406\" class=\"alignnone size-large\"\/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Will the card ALWAYS save me money?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In most cases, our negotiated pricing will be cheaper than what your pharmacy\u2019s cash price is. In some cases, however, certain pharmacy chains will already have the lowest price available. <strong>If you present the card, you can be assured that you will ALWAYS pay the lowest price available<\/strong>. In some cases, your pharmacy already has a lower price, in which case that is the price you pay. In other words, you lose nothing by at least printing the card and presenting it to your pharmacy.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-1400x896.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"768\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3882363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-1400x896.png 1400w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-350x224.png 350w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-150x96.png 150w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-100x64.png 100w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-1536x983.png 1536w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-2048x1311.png 2048w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-60x38.png 60w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-110x70.png 110w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-500x320.png 500w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-94x60.png 94w, https:\/\/iheartdogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/Screen-Shot-2023-08-01-at-9.05.54-AM-141x90.png 141w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Much of a Discount Will The Card Provide?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The largest savings are realized on generic brand drugs and can be up to 80% off.
