Prescriptions: 

Written prescriptions are available upon request. 

Cats requiring repeat prescriptions will need to be re-assessed periodically by one of our veterinary surgeons. The re-examination period will vary between clinical cases.  Please give us at least five working days’ notice for any requests for a repeat or written prescription. There is a charge for a re-examination and written prescriptions, details of which will be provided on enquiry.

You may obtain Prescription Only Medicines, category V (POM-V) from our veterinary surgeon or ask for a written prescription and obtain these yourself from another veterinary surgeon or pharmacy. Our veterinary surgeon may only prescribe POM-Vs for animals under his/her care. 

A prescription may not be appropriate if immediate treatment is necessary. You will be informed, on request, of the price of any medication that may be prescribed for your cat(s). 

We can only prescribe medications for cats that are registered with Whiskers ‘N’ Beans and are already being treated by one of our veterinary surgeons. We cannot supply medications or prescriptions without first seeing the animal. 

Prescriptions are only available for a maximum of up to 6 months at a time. The veterinary surgeon will provide medication based on a patient’s clinical needs, and where repeat examinations are required, the duration of treatment per prescription may be shorter. 

This is to comply with RCVS code of conduct and guidance and cannot be avoided. 

Please note that we cannot accept the return of any prescription drugs as such items cannot be resold. If you wish us to safely dispose of any unwanted medication, we can do so.
