| Trifexis Rebate is a Joke So, I went to the vet's yesterday to pick up another 6 month supply of Shelby-Dale's Trifexis. The girl says, "Looks like the price went up since last time." 6 month supply ended up costing $130. Then, she says, "They do have a rebate going on right now though." And she gave me the slip of paper with a web addy for it. She stabled another copy of my receipt to it. She said, "Go to this website. It's really easy. You will print the form and fill it out. Then, put it with this copy of your receipt and the part of the box that has the smart phone scanner print on it. Then mail it in." I get home and go to the website. I had the form emailed to me (which, by the way, I never got that email). And on the website, it says it is $25 rebate for 1 year supply or $10 for a 6 month supply bought. And then it says it takes 9 to 10 weeks to receive. Seriously? I have to go to your website, print a form that is emailed to me (or not), fill it out, put it with a copy of my purchase receipt and part of the medicine box, put all of that in an envelope and mail it. And then almost 3 months later, I'll get $10 back from my $130 purchase? For real, Trifexis? What a joke! Okay, had to vent and share LOL

| Shelby (he's a him...named after my daddy lol) does ok on Trifexis. It works well, but the last time I gave it to him, he threw up later..like the next morning. So, I'm sticking with it and just going to make sure his tummy isn't empty. I gave it to him last night with food and he's been fine. The only problem is, he is 72 lbs so the dosage he gets ..well, it comes in a huge biscuit type pill. He won't eat it without being tricked. I've always had to wrap it in cheese (mold and shape the cheese around it). However, I have to break it up in a few pieces with a knife (too thick to break with my hands) because it is so big..no way he can just swallow that and he won't chew. He's only been on Trifexis since Interceptor went away. I didn't have as hard of a time with Interceptor but I still had to hide it in cheese. (he is a hearding breed so he can't take heartguard)

| I have used the Trifexis since the recall on sentinel in my area and have had no problems with it. I hated having to change but did not have a choice. As for the rebate, it is a pain in the butt to do but I have been getting rebates since I started using it and also got rebates on the sentinel. It usually comes in a check made out to my vet, which is fine since I get my heartworm there, it helps bring the price down when I do buy it. I have 6 dogs, so 1 box only last me 1 month, so every little bit helps. It just blows my mind, the way they always preach that you need to give heatworm meds every month, so why not make it a little more affordable for people to be able to give it and protect their babies.

| My vet won't support getting meds from a 3rd party. Believe me, I would much rather get them online for cheaper. I usually do rebates, Taylor. I just think the hoops they want me to jump thru on this one are ridiculous. Geez, just make a spot on your website where I can enter the barcode from the box or something.

The reason they do that for rebates is that many people forget to mail it in or forget to include the items

| I paid $90.70 for a 6 month supply of Revolution, and got 2 extra months free. That was just a month ago. I hope they don't jack the price up next year. Bella does very well on Revolution. |
