How to Get a Prescription for Flovent for Your Pet in the U.S.

How to Get a Prescription for Flovent for Your Pet in the U.S.

If your dog or cat suffers from asthma or chronic bronchitis, your veterinarian may prescribe an inhaled steroid like Flovent. Flovent (fluticasone) reduces inflammation in your pet’s lungs, helping them breathe better and avoid serious flare-ups. But with Flovent becoming more expensive—or even harder to find—in the U.S., many pet owners are looking to Canada as a reliable and more affordable option.

Ordering Flovent from Canada is legal when it’s for personal use (which includes treating your pet) and when a valid prescription is provided. Here’s how to get that prescription—and how to save on your pet’s medication.

Step 1: Talk to Your Veterinarian

Flovent is a prescription-only medication, even when used for animals. To get started:

  • Book a veterinary appointment to confirm your pet’s condition (such as asthma or tracheal collapse).

  • Your vet will determine if Flovent is appropriate, often after trying bronchodilators or other treatments first.

  • Ask your vet specifically for a prescription for Flovent HFA inhaler, noting the strength (e.g., 110 mcg or 220 mcg) and instructions for use with an inhalation device like AeroKat (for cats) or AeroDawg (for dogs).

💡 Tip: Let your vet know you plan to order from a Canadian pharmacy referral service, such as Over the Border Meds, to reduce costs.

Step 2: Make Sure the Prescription Includes Key Information

To ensure your Flovent prescription will be accepted by a Canadian partner pharmacy, make sure it includes:

  • Your pet’s name

  • Your name (as the owner)

  • The prescribed medication and strength

  • Dosage instructions

  • The veterinarian’s full information and signature

Most Canadian pharmacies will accept prescriptions written for pets by licensed U.S. veterinarians as long as all required details are included.

Step 3: Submit Your Prescription to a Canadian Referral Service

Once you have the prescription:

  • You can upload it directly to Over the Border Meds’ website, or

  • Ask your veterinarian to fax or email it directly to the referral service.

Once received, the Canadian pharmacy partner will process your order. Note that generic Flovent (fluticasone) is available in Canada, offering even greater savings without sacrificing quality.

Step 4: Order Flovent at a Lower Cost from Canada

In the U.S., Flovent may cost $300–$400 or more per inhaler. In contrast, ordering through a Canadian prescription referral service can bring that price down to under $100 per inhaler—a massive saving for long-term use.

  • In Canada, Flovent is available in 125 mcg and 250 mcg strengths, slightly different from the 110 mcg and 220 mcg options in the U.S.

  • Your vet can easily adjust dosing based on the Canadian strengths, and your pharmacist at Over the Border Meds can help guide you through the transition.

Final Thoughts: Keep Your Pet Breathing Easy, Without Breaking the Bank

Flovent can be a lifesaver for pets with respiratory issues, but high U.S. costs are forcing many owners to look for better options. If your vet prescribes Flovent for your pet, ordering from Canada through a trusted prescription referral service like Over the Border Meds is a smart and cost-effective way to access this essential medication.

With your vet’s support and a valid prescription, you can save hundreds each year—and keep your dog or cat breathing easier.
