Can I get a prescription for Apoquel and Bravecto online, or do I need to see a vet first?

I've been managing my dog's itching and flea prevention with Apoquel and Bravecto for a while now. We're running low, and with our busy summer schedule, I'm wondering if there's a way to conveniently get a prescription for these medications online. Do I need to take him to the vet each time, or is there an option to handle this without a visit?
