Q: I can’t login. What do I do?
A: This may be due to your registration or a system error. If you have not yet had your registration validated and confirmed via email, please wait until your access is confirmed. If you already have access, this may be due to a system error. Please alert our Customer Services Team if you are unable to login with your existing access.

My Account

A: Yes. Just login and click Manage Profile from the login panel. You can update your contact details and business association. For your details to update and display accurately, please logout and login again.

Q: Can a colleague have access to the shop for my business account?
A: Our Shop is only available to registered Accounts. Any colleague that needs access must register with MSD Animal Health and be approved via our normal verification process. Please contact our Customer Services Team or your Sales representative if you would like access to the Shop.

Q: An address is wrong. Can I change my account details?
A: Any address change must be verified according to our normal practices. Please contact Customer Services to confirm any address change that you need. This will automatically update to the shop within 24 hours.

Q: I created an order then changed my account and it removed all the products in my basket. Why?
A: As some products may be restricted by license to specific accounts, when you change your account after adding products to your basket, we must clear the basket due to license safety and regulations policy. If you make a mistake when selecting your account, check and correct it before you add products. If you change a delivery address, the items in your basket are unaffected.

Product Search & Selection

Q: What products are available in the shop?
A: Almost all of our products are available from our shop, displayed with stock availability, price, discount price (If applicable) and any additional volume-based pricing (if applicable). Due to scheduling Halocur®, Boostin and Dolorex are not available online.

Q: Can I buy the MSD Animal Health products that I hold an additional product license for?
A: Any product license must be stored on your account to purchase a licensed/restricted product(s) from our shop. If you have the relevant license required for purchase, please contact our Customer Service Team to provide the license details for set-up on your account. Once complete, you can purchase the product(s) from the shop.

Q: I can see a product in the shop but can’t add it to my basket. How do I ix this?
A: Check if the product is highlighted as out-of-stock as any out-of-stock product cannot be added. If it is not highlighted as out-of-stock or the add to cart is disabled, please call our Customer Services Team for help. Another reason you may not be able to pick a product, is that your account may be restricted from buying such a product. For example, if you are not a registered veterinary practice, you will be restricted from purchasing a “vets only” product.

Q: I only want to buy 1 of a product, but it will only let me select another number. How do I receive just 1?
A: Some products are limited to a minimum quantity or are only sold in multiples. A message displays to inform you of any minimum quantity or multiple that must be added to your cart, but if this cannot be seen, there may be an error.
Please call our Customer Services Team for help.

Q: When I add a product, I get an error page. What should I do?
A: Try refreshing the page by using your browser or click away from the page and go back. If this continues, you can place your order without the product and call Customer Services for help to place an order for this additional product, or simply call Customer Services for help.

Q: I created an order, but then all my products disappeared. What happened?
A: If you walk away from your desk, help a clinic customer, etc. you may have been automatically logged out after 20 minutes. This is to protect your business account from fraudulent use and any items in your basket are removed. If you need to do something else when in the middle of an order, click Save for Later on the Order Summary. This will save your basket so you can come back and finish your order.

Pricing, Taxes & Shipping

Q: What price do I see in the shop?
A: The price displayed in the storefront next to each individual item is the price you pay excluding VAT. If you are registered to pay VAT, this will be added at the end when you confirm your final basket.
