How to Get Prescriptions and Veterinary Diets Through For Pet's Sake
Updated
For Pet's Sake fills prescription medications and veterinary diets through its partnership with Chewy. To use it, you go to Chewy.com, add For Pet's Sake - GA under "My Vet Clinics," and then order through Chewy with the clinic linked to your account. This route is for established clients of the Decatur, GA exotic-animal hospital who need ongoing medications or prescription diets; it is not a walk-in pharmacy counter service described on the site.
What the clinic says about the process
The clinic's site states that getting your pet's prescription medications and veterinary diets is "now easier than ever through our partnership with Chewy," and gives these steps:
- Visit Chewy.com (or click the Chewy logo on the clinic's site).
- Add For Pet's Sake - GA under "My Vet Clinics."
- Order your pet's prescription items through Chewy with the clinic attached to your account.
The expected result is that Chewy routes the prescription request to For Pet's Sake for authorization, and the medication or diet ships to you. The clinic's site does not describe an in-house online pharmacy of its own, so Chewy is the channel it names.
Before you order: confirm the clinic can authorize it
For Pet's Sake is a veterinary hospital "dedicated solely to exotic animals," and its doctors work exclusively with exotic pets. That matters for prescriptions: a Chewy order still needs a valid prescription from a veterinarian who has seen your pet, and this clinic's prescribing is limited to the species it treats.
- If your pet is an exotic animal already under this clinic's care, linking the clinic in Chewy is the straightforward path.
- If your pet has not been seen here, the site does not state that Chewy orders can be authorized without an exam or an existing relationship — plan to contact the clinic first.
- If your pet is a dog or cat, this clinic's stated focus is exotic animals, so it may not be the right prescriber.
Contacting the clinic about a prescription or diet
The site lists Contact Us as a way to "call or send us an email," with staff responding as soon as possible. Use that channel to ask:
- Whether a refill or new prescription can be authorized for your pet.
- Whether a specific veterinary diet is one the clinic will prescribe.
- Whether an exam or recheck is needed before authorization.
The site also has an Online Forms section where new patient/client forms are available, which is useful if you are not yet an established client and need to register before a prescription can be processed.
Payment and cost questions
The site links to a Payment Options page, so payment methods and options are handled there rather than described in the prescription section. The clinic's materials do not list prices for medications, diets, or exams, and no pricing is stated for the Chewy partnership. Treat cost as something to confirm directly — with Chewy for the product price, and with the clinic for any exam, authorization, or dispensing fees.

Common snags to expect
- Clinic not linked in Chewy. If For Pet's Sake - GA is not added under "My Vet Clinics," Chewy has no one to send the authorization request to, and the order stalls.
- No current prescription on file. A Chewy order is a request, not a prescription. If the clinic has not authorized it, the order will not ship until it does.
- Species mismatch. Because the practice treats exotic animals exclusively, a prescription request for a species outside that scope is unlikely to be authorized here.
- Timing. The site does not state turnaround times for authorizations, so if a medication is running low, contact the clinic before you place the Chewy order rather than after.
