Absolutely love this company for the prompt service I have experienced with being able to place my two dogs medications. So very thankful I found them as they offer a much more affordable price than even my Veterinarian can. I have told some of my good friends about them as well.

Wish I could say fast delivery like everyone else. Ordered dog meds 7/26, my vet replied 7/27. I did not see any processing on the order till 8/4. Had a tracking number 8/4, BUT, it said "Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting item". I did finally get it 8/9 (I'm about an 8 hour drive from them). I will say this about Bandana Rx. Talking to them on the phone they are very helpful. Their prices are the best and I have searched a lot of other Pet Med Sites.

I recently switched for my pugs meds and the prices can’t be beat so far. If any issues arise they contact me right away. I hope it continues this way.

Best prices on the Web for pet medication. Staff is very helpful in working with our vet's office for prescriptions and refills. I really appreciate that they contacted me about preferences on my order rather than making assumptions. Excellent service!

I’ve been using this site for my dogs meds over a year now, it’s the cheapest, fast delivery, and always in stock meds for my dog. I really appreciate all that. I would recommend this site to everybody. As you can see my dog is very content. Thank you all so much!!!!
