Petco stores and Petco.com carry a wide selection of prescription veterinary diet foods for dogs and cats, including therapeutic diets for kidney disease, urinary health, weight management, gastrointestinal conditions, allergies, and diabetes. Check out our store locator to see if your local store has veterinary diet products in stock or available for pickup when you order online. Popular brands include Hill's Prescription Diet, Royal Canin Veterinary Diet, and Purina Pro Plan Veterinary Diets. Like prescription medications, veterinary diet foods require authorization from your veterinarian before your order can be processed. The ordering process is similar to prescription medications — add the item to your cart, enter your pet and vet information, and either upload a photo of your prescription or select contact my vet. Prescription food orders also qualify for Autoship, saving you 35% on your first order and 5% on every subsequent delivery. Shop veterinary diets at petco.com under Pharmacy > Dog Veterinary Diets or Cat Veterinary Diets.
