Pet Drug Card: Frequently Asked Questions

How does this Prescription Drug Savings Program work?

The Prescription Assistance Program, PetDrugCard, is partnered with companies that negotiate discounts directly with the pharmacies on over 20,000 name and generic brand drugs. Because our program is able to send such a high volume of cash-paying customers to pharmacies, we can provide group rate prescription discounts. These wholesale prices are passed directly on to patients.

Who is eligible to participate in the PetDrugCard Program?

Membership to the PetDrugCard Program has no requirements. Unlike insurance programs, there is no income, age, pre-existing condition, deductible, or waiting period restrictions. The program is designed to help patients nationwide who do not have prescription drug coverage or who have coverage but are subject to large deductibles, large co-pays, formulary limitations, dosing limitations, gaps, and/or any cash out-of-pocket expenses.

How much do the Prescription Discount Cards cost?

The PetDrugCard Program is absolutely FREE. We provide this service to any and all Americans that wish to save on their prescription prices. There are no premiums or deductibles associated with this program whatsoever.

Which prescription drugs do they cover?

The PetDrugCard Program covers all FDA approved brand name and generic prescription medications.

What is the typical savings amount?
