Quick Takeaways:
- PetMed Express (PetMeds) has launched its co-branded online pet pharmacy with Rural King, giving customers access to pet medications, prescription food, preventatives, and other pet health products through a digital pharmacy experience powered by PetMeds. The service is available via RuralKing.com, dedicated program links, and Rural King’s email and social media channels.
- First announced in April, the partnership combines PetMeds’ licensed pharmacy infrastructure, pharmacists, and e-commerce capabilities with Rural King’s retail and digital reach. The launch marks PetMeds’ first large-scale white-label pharmacy program and includes AutoShip for recurring orders of eligible medications, preventatives, and prescription diets, helping improve access to pet healthcare, particularly in rural communities.
- To mark the launch, Rural King customers can access introductory promotions, including 25% off sitewide and 50% off first-time AutoShip orders (subject to terms and exclusions). Both companies said the collaboration aligns with their shared goal of making trusted, affordable pet healthcare more convenient and accessible for pet owners across the US
Why It Matters?
The partnership gives PetMeds a new revenue channel and accelerates AutoShip adoption (recurring orders of eligible meds, preventatives, and prescription diets), while Rural King customers gain a convenient, trusted pharmacy option with sitewide 25% off and 50% off first AutoShip orders, aiming to improve access to affordable pet healthcare, especially in rural communities.
