| Prescription for meds cheaper from petmeds??? I have to take Pebbles to the vet tomorrow for her annual and shots. I need more intercepter for my 3 and was wondering if it is cheaper to get it from "petmeds" or not. I also found frontline Plus cheaper from "thrifty vet" has anyone gotten anything from either of them??

| Our vet advertises that he matches petmed prices. Might ask your vet to see if he will too. Makes it more convenient and our vet feels better because he knows you are getting the meds. He also said he worried people were not always getting quality or up-to-date meds online. Did not mention any specific website, just that some sold inferior products.

| Have you tried a low cost vaccine clinic? I was at the pet store and there was one there one day and I got Heartgard for an entire year plus a heartworm test for $37. That's cheaper than just the heartworm test alone at the vet! Advantage was like $60 for 8 months. Compared to $90 at my vet.

| i usually get the prescription at the vets and order from Entirely pets... This year the vet is advertising that he will be price matching any of these online places... Good for me, i will be getting all my refills from the vets. Good luck !!!!

| I have used pet meds before and it was cheaper than the vet. However, according to your comparison, entirely pets is cheapest.

| The one vet that I worked with would compare petmeds prices, however, some people are unaware that you still need to have a RX from your vet to get those medications off of petmeds.com.

| This may be just a ploy to keep me from buying online, but I was told that pet medications purchased from the internet may actually be counterfeits manufactured in China with diluted products. BCA |

If you are talking flea meds, okay--they might not die if they pick up a few fleas--but the damage heartworms do is irreversable, even when treated. Last edited by mk97; 07-24-2009 at 07:02 PM. | |
