Pet pharmacy in London
London is home to more dogs than anywhere else in the UK, and the choice of services is the widest too — from small salons in the centre to 24-hour animal hospitals. The upside of that choice is competition and specialism; the downside is that quality varies most here, so it's worth filtering by reviews. Hampstead Heath, Richmond Park and Hyde Park keep the city's dogs well walked.
Pet pharmacy: parasite protection and products in London
A pet pharmacy matters even when your dog is well — regular worming and flea and tick protection are the foundation of good health, and some infections can pass to people too. A good pharmacist matches the product to your dog's weight and age and explains the correct dose. Prescription medicines need a vet's prescription.
What to look for when choosing pet pharmacy in London
- ✦Proper advice based on your dog's weight and age — not just something handed off the shelf.
- ✦Fresh stock for seasonal parasite protection (spring to autumn is peak tick season).
- ✦Handling of prescription products and the option to liaise with your vet.
- ✦Clear dosing guidance, especially for puppies and older dogs.
- ✦Availability: opening hours and the option to check stock in advance.
Helpful tips
- →Keep tick protection going continuously from spring to autumn — a single missed month is enough for an infection.
- →Repeat worming every three months, and more often in a household with children.
- →Never give human medicine to a dog — many are toxic to them (for example painkillers).

Do I need a prescription for a wormer in London?+
