    contrast this me picking up my dog’s prescription meds: “ah, shit, that was his last pill!” <calls vet office> “hey, could I get a refill of gabapentin and vetmedin? Let’s toss in some canned food. Sure, I can swing by after work. Thanks!”

    From my point of view, the difference is there’s no insurance involved, so I pay out of pocket and no one has to deal with insurance companies. (pet insurance exists, but I’ve done the math and it doesn’t make financial or logistical sense for me.)

    I do like my human pharmacy, but all my human meds are generic and not super controlled or abusable. I gave up on ADHD meds.

      Oh, don’t worry they’re working on fixing that little “problem” won’t be long before veterinary care is as horrible as human health care is. Already have people around me signing up for that shit and raving about how it gives them peace of mind. Morons aren’t doing anything but feeding the enshittification.
