We are constantly working behind the scenes

We have simplified the patient process into four easy steps for you, while we work behind the scenes to assist your vet to deliver a seamless treatment journey for your pet.

  • Pet Owner Steps
  • Veterinarian Steps
  • Consultation

    Step 1

    Consultation

    At your appointment, your vet will thoroughly assess your pet. If your vet considers cannabinoid therapy may be a clinically appropriate treatment, they will have an open discussion about your pets condition and symptoms, as well as treatment goals.

    Prescription

    Step 2

    Prescription

    Your vet will write a prescription for your pet’s cannabinoid medicine once it is decided that cannabinoids are a clinically appropriate treatment. The medicine will either be supplied immediately from the vet practice, or the prescription will be sent to a specialised pharmacy. The pharmacy will call you (usually within 24 hours) to arrange delivery.

    On-going Support

    Step 3

    On-going Support

    You may be asked to complete a ‘Pet Journal’ to keep a record of your pet’s symptoms, especially during the titration period. Sharing this journal with your vet allows more accurate monitoring of your pet’s treatment and progress. On-going visits to your vet allows them to optimize your pet’s long-term outcome, goals and overall health.

  • Consultation

    Assessment

    Have you checked and assessed this animal? Do you think its condition would benefit from being treated with cannabinoids? If so, you may choose to prescribe the pet a cannabinoid treatment that suits their needs.

    Prescription

    In-clinic Dispensing

    After prescribing, you can choose to dispense the medicine directly to the owner. Medications can be ordered from a specialised pharmacy and safely and securely stored at your premises.

    Prescription

    Pharmacy Dispensing

    The owner can also be dispensed by the eCS Health Member Pharmacy with your prescription. This pharmacy will call the owner (usually within 24 hours) to arrange delivery.
