Remember, Vets aren't pharmacists, just as they are not nutritionists. They rely heavily upon recommendations of the manufacturers of the drugs who have a huge financial stake in the meds that vets recommend.
Yeah, I toatlly agree with vets being influenced by pharm companies. I really wanted to put Maddie on it, but the vet wasn't really happy with it. I bought 6 months of frontline and sentinel so I think once that runs out I'm just going to have her write me a prescription for it and get it online. I HATE all that frontline I have to put on her! ..especially hearing how many of you guys use it, I know the majority of people on YT will ONLY use the best for their babies
