Crater now has an Online Store! (6-7-09)

We are proud to announce the addition of an online store to our comprehensive website. With more and more people looking for online services, our goal has been to provide a simple, reputable source of online products for our clients. With much research we have decided to partner with VetSource (www.vetsource.com). They are a well established, fully-trained, licensed and reputable pharmacy, and they are a LOCAL business based in Portland, Oregon. We are happy to support the Oregon economy, and using a local business means that standard shipments to your home will be only 2-3 days!

Some of the incredible services we will be able to offer with VetSource include online prescription and non-prescription (ex. Flea and tick preventative, dental treats and chews, small animal and equine supplements, etc.) items, the full line of Hill’s Science Diet prescription diets, home delivery services, automatic refills, delivery to multiple addresses, and more. We will be able to offer a full line of small animal medications as well as equine meds, and our partnership with VetSource will allow us to provide these medications at prices competitive with most other internet pharmacies. We encourage you to click on the Vetsource icon or “Online Store” to the left and explore what we have to offer.

With this partnership we are assuring that you receive only the correct, quality-assured medication that we have prescribed for your pet. For example, some internet sites have been prosecuted for selling misbranded medications not approved by the FDA or for buying medications from foreign countries and repackaging these medications and selling them as licensed drugs from the United States. With all the current news about contaminated/mislabeled products, you can understand our concern for your pets! We aim to provide you with quality, reliable medications online by avoiding sources that provide questionable or substandard ingredients.

Another reason to take advantage of our partnership with Vetsource is that we get minute-by-minute updates and full histories of all medications sold and thus we will have detailed records of the medications your pet is taking. This will help us immensely in making sure your pets are taking the correct medications at the correct dosages with no gaps or guess work.
