If you purchase medications for your pets online, the FDA is urging you to use caution.

Many consumers purchase medications for their pets online for convenience and to save money and there are many websites that represent legitimate pharmacies.

But, the Food and Drug Administration warns there are other online sites selling unapproved pet drugs, counterfeit pet products and expired pet drugs. Some will even dispense prescription pet meds without requiring a prescription.

Those products could be unsafe or ineffective for your pet.
