Kerr Drug launches pet meds program

RALEIGH, N.C. — Kerr Drug announced the launch of its Healthy Pet program, offering a full range of pet medications that customers can order online on the chain's website and have delivered to their homes, the regional retail pharmacy chain said Wednesday.

"With the addition of our online Healthy Pet pharmacy, Kerr Drug is North Carolina's pharmacy for the entire family," president and CEO Tony Civello said. "Kerr Drug's Healthy Pet continues our work as a community pharmacy by helping us provide even greater convenience, affordability and customer service."

The retailer said it would offer both human drugs at doses suitable for pets and animal-specific medications for cats, dogs, birds, horses, small pets and exotic pets. The company also will compound medications in various formats and flavors, while veterinarians will be available full time to answer pet owners' questions about prescription pet drugs.
