Has anyone ever heard of this or am I just being suckered in to buying from my vet? |
I used to work at a vet clinic and we had regular presentations given to us by the makers of Heartgard/Frontline and Revolution. They did tell us that customers should not buy from "most" online places because many of the products are being sold past expiration dates and are also being purchased in bulk illegally by the companies that operate those sites. Now remember - this is coming from the companies that sell the products to my vet, so of course they want customers to purchase that way. I still buy from my vet because I take my dogs and cat there regularly anyway.
