E-vet - fantastic service

[Birker2020]

I can't find the post about online ordering from pharacy type equine companies but I ordered Acid Ease via E-vet at around 10am yesterday and it arrived bang on 10am this morning with £6 off every other websites prices and free delivery.

Delivered to my desk at work by a considerate and polite driver.

Impeccable service, well done E-vet. Will be using you again.

I've used E-vet before for price matching bute as they were charging 64p a sachet of bute and I'd been up to that point payimg £1.15 a sachet from my own vet. So my vet would price match most commom drugs a client found on a website. But I've never bought anything directly before from them.

How does it work for medicines requiring a prescription OP? Do you need to get that from your own vet first?

have always found them excellent and cost effective to deal with.

i have had a prescription emailed to me by my vet and then you just upload it on the website, but you can email, or send the paper copy.

Good reminder to chase my vet for a prescription, they’re pretty slow at issuing those to the point where I end up having to go collect it from them. Have just used eVet for the first time and they sent it next day. Best price i found online.

They're brilliant - I get all my prescriptions passed to them. One of their team used to be local to me and when the microcob had her surgery they spoke to the vet about what I needed and dropped it off at the yard for me so everything I needed for the wound was there before she actually got back from hospital.

I’ll have a look! Thank you.

Yes, and your vet will charge for that. Mine charge £25.50 for a 6 monthly prescription, but it still usually works out (a lot) cheaper than buying from your vet.

Some vets will price match.

They are very good. Their base is about 1/2 a mile from me, at their hospital, so I quite often get stuff delivered by a passing vet!

Not heard of them, but I'll be looking them up!

Yes but for some reason my vets didn't like to actually issue clients with a physical prescription. So they offered a price matching service. My vet charged £18 prescription plus the cost of the drugs you'd found price matched. That way they had full control over you. I never once actually saw a 'prescription'. It would have been better for them to have called it 'price matching fee' instead.

The vet would then sign off the drugs and you would collect from the surgery or they'd leave for you in your manger if they visited your yard.

I only found out about e-vet from their stand at YHL. Was annoyed with myself for paying vets prices all those years and they'd kept it from me that they did price matching.

So on a box of 200 bute (I used 2 x boxes bute in the 6 months the prescription lasted for) I ended up paying a total of £138 instead of £230. Substantial saving!
