Very true!! Also, if your pet has a reaction, are you going to call the online pharmacy you purchased the product from--or are you calling your vet?? This is one of the reasons your office call, exams and other services will be increased. The vet clinic I worked at in MS would try to get as close without us losing money--the place I applied for here said no way, we don't price match and we don't fax or phone verify any info, you want it-you come pick up the prescription and then you figure out how to get it to the company. I understand that the economy is tight, but this goes back to--researching and making sure you can properly take care of your pet before purchasing it. Also, some of the pet insurances will cover these medications. Buyer beware for all these online companies.
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.
