Pet Prescription Delivery in Fort McMurray

Fort McMurray is one of the most remote major communities in the province. Pet medication access shouldn't feel that remote too.

VetFaster is a Canadian-owned pet prescription delivery service, built in Alberta and serving pet families across the province within 72 hours. If you live in Fort McMurray, your vet stays your essential care partner, and we handle everything after the prescription is written.

Why Fort McMurray pet owners overpay at the clinic

Most veterinary clinics mark medication up substantially above what a pharmacy pays. That markup covers overhead and stocking, but the pet owner absorbs it every single refill. On a chronic medication like Apoquel or insulin, that adds up fast, especially in northern Alberta where the alternative has usually been the drive south for anything the local clinic doesn't stock.

The good news: any licensed Alberta veterinarian, including your Fort McMurray vet, can send the prescription directly to VetFaster. From there, a licensed Alberta pharmacy dispenses it and a courier brings it to your door.

How pet prescription delivery in Fort McMurray works

  1. Your Fort McMurray vet writes the prescription. Nothing changes about the exam or the diagnosis. Your vet remains the medical decision-maker.
  2. The prescription is sent to VetFaster. Your vet can fax it to 1587-415-6728 or you can request the script directly. If your clinic hasn't worked with us before, we reach out on your behalf.
  3. Our Alberta pharmacy dispenses it. Every prescription is verified by an ACP-regulated pharmacist. Medications are sourced from licensed Canadian wholesalers and are Health Canada approved.
  4. We deliver to your door in Fort McMurray. Alberta wide delivery within 72 hours. Time-sensitive medications like insulin and antibiotics are prioritized.

What can Fort McMurray pet owners save?

Most families save up to 40% on common prescriptions compared to in-clinic pricing. That includes Apoquel, Bravecto, Simparica Trio, antibiotics, gabapentin, insulin, thyroid medication, and chronic care refills. Because a licensed Alberta pharmacy dispenses directly with no clinic markup, you pay closer to the true cost of the drug.
