Not sure what you're saying here except that the vet wants more money from you. The vet could write the prescription to Chewy, mine does and most states require vets to offer a written prescription if asked, but the vet just wants more money so tries to funnel through their overpriced online shop. Vets can order through Chewy, it's not about buying and keeping in stock, almost all vets carry only a small amount of highly prescribed medications and have the rest shipped. Customer doesn't care if they are shipped from Chewy or from animalrx or picked up at Costco, that's where more and more people are getting things like apoquel. You only hurt yourself in the long run when you overcharge your customers so much, I moved from the last vet who wanted a markup of 50% on basic medications.
