Veterinary pharmacies in Thailand - Pattaya?

Featured Replies

Is there any such thing as veterinary pharmacies in Thailand, specifically in the Pattaya area?

Until now I have always bought the medication we need from veterinaries, but sometime they seem to add a little too much profit to their sales price. For example I needed some anti earmite drops for my cats. First they try to sell me an imported brand for 300 baht, eventually got a local brand, a tiny 5 ml bottle, 140 baht. This was a simple OTC sale, no consultation or anything. I mean, I think you'd pay about half of that for any ear/eye drops for humans, known brand from a good pharmacy.

I do realize vets are unreasonably inexpensive in Thailand, perhaps they're just trying to earn on the drugs what they lose in the consultation. Just curious - are there more reasonably priced pharmacies or vets who sell OTC vet drugs, in the Pattaya area?

There aren't any veterinary pharmacies in Thailand, no. For stuff you use regularly, I recommend buying online. I use iherb (dot) com to buy my dog's glucosamine. The cheapest I could find here in Thailand was 850 baht for 15 days worth of pills (he's a really big dog, so he needs a big dosage). The bottle I buy at iherb is 1000 baht (including shipping) for 45 days of pills. Delivery takes about three weeks, so it's not an option for emergencies. Otherwise, I've been ordering from them for over six months and have never had a problem.

I'm curious -- where then do Vets get their drugs from?

Directly from the manufacturers? I know my vet buys many of her drugs directly from a distributor (and the distributor doesn't have a store). You could ask the vet for the name of the distributor, but I don't know if they will sell directly to the public.
