I was under the impression that Frontline is NOT supposed to have an expiration date. I've always read to make sure yours doesn't have an expiration date or else it's a counterfeit item. I could be wrong, but just wanted to point this out.
Also, do you have any spay/neuter type clinics around you? I purchase Iverhart Plus (for heartworm) for $19 for a 6 month supply there.
Great deal. Also, Petsmart just recently started carrying K9 Advantix (which is what we use) there w/o a prescription.
I prefer to get heartworm meds with a vets signature and prescription though because if your dog was ever to get heartworms (which can be deadly) the company will cover the veterinary care if they got heartworms while on their medication.
I understand about money issues! I'm a college student so am looking to be spare whereever possible.

I see that they don't require a prescription for Heartguard like US companies do. There is a reason why it is only available by prescription here. If your dog is heartworm positive and gets a heartworm preventative, the dead worms can clog the arteries in the heart and be fatal. Dogs need a yearly heartworm test to be prescribed a preventative safely.
Also, there are a lot of counterfeits on the market. Why take a chance?

I may look into this; Frontline didn't seem to work for us last summer (he got tons of ticks on it) so that was why we switched to Advantix, but I may give it another shot. I hate putting it on their back because it gets sooo gross and sticky.
