Save on Prescriptions for Your Guide Dog with Wal-Greens!

Does your guide dog take high blood pressure medication or eye drops that are human medicines altered for canine use? Wal-Greens has a prescription savings club that covers pet prescriptions. For an annual fee of $20 for an individual or $35 for a family membership (which includes yourself, a spouse, children under 23 years old, and pets), you can save a significant amount of money on over 5,000 brand name and generic prescriptions, including pet prescriptions. Members also get ten percent rewards on Wal-Green brand items and photo-finishing services.

One member of the National Association of Guide Dog Users says she used to pay $25 for one mont’s supply of her retired guide dog’s high blood pressure medication (a human prescription altered for canine use). Now, she pays $11 for 2 month’s supply. After the $20 annula fee, that’s a savings of $214 on just that one prescription! Now that’s true savings.
For many prescriptions, you can get 90 days’ supply for $12, less than a dollar a week.

The only drawback is that people who get Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare (military insurance) or excluded from the program for their prescriptions, because federal law forbids it. However, these individuals can still get an individual membership for their guide dog, as the guide dog doesn’t receive Medicaid, Medicare, or Tricare…just the person! So you can still save on your guide dog’s prescriptions, as the NAGDU member does. Signing up your guide dog as an individual is a $20 annual fee, and will cover only that dog’s prescriptions.
