Can you supply part packs? I don’t need hundreds of tablets.
Yes, of course. We don’t want to sell you quantities that you don’t need. We always look for ways on how we can help you save!
Do my pets get a colourful PillDrop dispenser and PillSachets?
Although that would be cute, we’re sorry to say no. Animal medication comes in so many different sizes and forms – creams, pills, drops etc. – so it’s not practical to pack them into PillSachets. They will instead come in the usual form – bottles, tubes, injectables, etc.
What are PillSachets anyway?
It’s for humans! Check it out here: https://pilldrop.co.nz
Can I call PillDrop Pets if I have any concerns?
Yes, call our team on 0800-745-537 if you require assistance. Alternatively, send our vet an email on
vet@pilldrop.co.nz
Do you accept returns or exchanges on prescription items?
For medication orders, once this has been confirmed and you have paid for the charges and delivery
fees (if any) we will not be able to offer returns or refund any of the medicines selected to be dispensed unless they are faulty, damaged or not the items you ordered.
If goods (prescription or non-prescription) delivered to you are faulty, damaged or not the items you
ordered then you must contact us as soon as possible and return the goods to PillDropPets Pharmacy at your cost within 21 days. If it turns out the goods are faulty, damaged or incorrect we will replace and redeliver the goods at no charge to you.
If you are entitled to a refund the refund will be made based on the method of payment you used. If you paid by credit card then the refunded amount will be credited back to the same credit card. If you paid by bank transfer then the refunded amount will be deposited back to the same bank account.
What payment method do you accept?
We accept credit card and bank transfer payment methods.
Do you ship overseas?
No. We only ship within New Zealand. All transactions are priced in NZD ( New Zealand Dollars)
