We strive to always offer the best pricing possible, with direct relationships with major drug manufacturers and veterinary wholesalers.

Shelters United Pharmacy: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Shelters United Pharmacy Program?
Shelters United Pharmacy is the new online pharmacy for pet adopters that offers a wide variety of pet medications at competitive prices, with convenient home delivery. But it's more than just another online pet pharmacy. It's a way to give back to the animal welfare community.
5% of every purchase from Shelters United Pharmacy is donated back to a local animal welfare organization! Plus exclusive discounts are available for staff and volunteers of shelters and rescues.
How does it benefit my staff, volunteers, and organization
When your organization becomes a Shelters United member, you can participate in the Shelters United Pharmacy! Your staff and volunteers get access to exclusive discounts on their pet medication needs via a unique coupon code.
Plus, with every purchase they make, for the lifetime of their pet, 5% of the sale goes right back to your organization to support your mission.
Is Shelters United Pharmacy available to pet adopters?
Yes, the Pharmacy is available for pet adopters of any type! New or old, beginners or seasoned pet parents, staff and volunteers, the Pharmacy wants to save all pet adopters money on the products and medications they buy for their personal pets.
How does it work?
Let's say one of your animal care techs needs pain medication for their senior dog. It costs $50. They saw your email about Shelters United Pharmacy and order their dog’s prescription using your group’s code. They save $5 just like that!
At the same time, your organization receives 5% of that purchase as a donation. It’s a total win-win.
Is this really a free program?
Yes, it’s really free for all organizations who are Shelters United members.
If you are a member, you can email us for your special savings code: hello@sheltersunitedpharmacy.com.

How is Shelters United Pharmacy different from the Shelters United Vet Supplies Savings Program?
Shelters United Pharmacy and the Vet Supplies Savings Program are distinct initiatives. The Vet Supplies Savings Program focuses on providing discounted veterinary supplies directly to animal welfare organizations for adoptable animals.
Shelters United Pharmacy, on the other hand, is an online pharmacy specifically for personal pets of animal welfare staff, volunteers, and future pet adopters.
How does Shelters United Pharmacy benefit the animal welfare community?
Shelters United Pharmacy offers several key benefits:
- Affordable Pet Care: We provide competitive prices and exclusive discounts to animal welfare staff and volunteers, making pet care more accessible.
- Revenue Generation: A portion of every purchase made through the pharmacy is donated back to animal welfare organizations, providing a new revenue stream.
- Convenience: Our online platform and home delivery service save time and effort.
- Support for Individuals: We recognize the dedication of animal welfare professionals and aim to support their personal pet care needs.

Yes! During the checkout process, you can select the animal welfare organization you wish to support. If you don’t see the organization you’d like to support, you can suggest that group during the registration process.
Can I change the organization I donate to?

What types of medications and products are available through Shelters United Pharmacy?
We offer a wide range of pet medications, including flea and tick prevention, heartworm medication, pain relief, antibiotics, and more. We also offer over-the-counter products and supplies.
How do I order prescriptions from my veterinarian?
Add the desired medication to your cart and verify the quantity. Provide us with your veterinarian’s information during checkout, then complete your order. We will follow up with your veterinarian to confirm and process the order.
Can I order my pet’s medications without a prescription?
Pet prescription products are just like your own, we must have a valid prescription written by the veterinarian who sees them. This does not mean you have to have a written prescription in hand, however. If you have seen your vet, and they prescribed medication for your pet that you have not purchased yet, our pharmacy will contact them for authorization before we ship the product to you.
Do I need a prescription in hand before ordering my pet’s medication?
If you do not have a written prescription, simply select “Contact my vet” at checkout and our pharmacy will reach out for authorization before shipping.
If you have a written prescription, it can be mailed to:
Pets Choice Pharmacy Order #
814 K Street
Belleville, KS 66935
Only send original, written prescriptions. No photocopies will be accepted.
Why do you ask for my pet and veterinarian’s information at checkout?
By law, to process your prescription order, we need to have your pet’s information to verify your prescription request with your veterinarian. The required fields are essential for us to track down this verification, and the additional information is to help ensure the safety of your pet when dispensing medications.
How is my veterinarian contacted?
Following the regulations set forth by every state’s Board of Pharmacy regarding how we can accept prescriptions, the first method of contact is by automated fax. If your veterinarian does not respond via fax, we will call them for a verbal verification.
When will my shelter or rescue receive their donation from my purchases?
Donations are paid to earning organizations on a quarterly basis.
Is the discount available to people who are not staff or volunteers of animal welfare groups?
No – the discount is only being made available to shelter staff and volunteers. Shelters United Pharmacy will go through a reconciliation process as the donations are getting ready to be made to ensure that this guideline is followed.
What if the medication I want isn't listed or available?
Although we stock thousands of medications through our pharmacy partner, Pet's Choice Pharmacy, invariably we might miss a few. If you email us at hello@sheltersunitedpharmacy.com we'll do our best to accommodate or suggest an alternative.
Is there customer support available?
Yes, we offer customer support for emergencies and everyday questions.
How do I contact Shelters United Pharmacy customer support?
You will receive support contact information in your order emails from the Pharmacy. You may also contact us at hello@sheltersunitedpharmacy.com for assistance.
