Also, from what I understand you MUST give Trifexis non a full stomach. If your dog throws up the meds within one hour, the vet is supposed to replace it free of charge. After an hour, it won't compromise his/her protection.
You all have me second guessing the paperwork I read from the vet. I'm going to call and make sure, but they are closed for lunch right now. I will update later. The way *I* read the paperwork from their office was that they wouldn't okay meds from another party because they could not guarantee they are safe and "real".

I'm going to check into this further. Bottom line is...I need a new vet lol
