The DVR Pharmacy provides fast, convenient and cost-effective one-stop shopping for veterinary and human over-the-counter or prescription products.  Many high volume items are kept in stock in the pharmacy and are available for immediate pick up.  The DVR Pharmacy has access to a Government Pharmacy Prime Vendor contract which provides excellent pricing on human drug products and is able to realize a significant cost savings to our customers.
