|  Anyone Purchase Heartwormer, etc Online? Does anyone purchase their pet's flea preventative and heartwormer online? If so, which site? I'd really like to buy them online, but am hesitant due to counterfeits. |

| I buy supplements from entirelypets.com. If I used flea preventatives, that would be the go to also. Very reliable site so far... I don't buy heartworm preventative online because I'm just not comfortable with it. We always get it from Ellie's vet.

| I'm hesitant about purchasing on line too. I just stick with my vet when it comes to HW prevention.

| I dont use flea prevention bc we have never had an issue with fleas. I use HeartGuard and get it from PetMeds. I used to get it from my vet however he switched to a pill and my dogs HATE it. There is another vet in town and I refuse to pay $35 for a single package so online I go to PetMeds.

| Because of all the stories I've heard and read about counterfeit products, I personally just feel comfortable buying Sasha's flea & tick/heartworm products directly from her vet. The vet I take her to is very reasonable in price with all of their services. I'm sure they could be found slightly cheaper from other sources, but I trust my vet & would rather not be a victim of a counterfeit product so I'll pay the few extra dollars if need be. |

| Items such as heartguard are only allowed to be sold with a vet's prescription. So any site that sell you heartguard without asking for a vet's prescription would make me run far far away. Flea medicine is ok to be bought without a prescription. |

| PetMeds called my Vet for the boys prescription. Same box, same everything.

| My vet's prices are actually the same or slightly lower than the on-line prices. I once asked him about getting meds on-line and he said he would charge me $10 for the prescription to send the company. So after that, his prices would definitely be better. I think he does that to discourage buying meds on-line that could possibly be counterfeit.
