| Does Anyone Buy Pet Meds Online? I was just told by someone that buying the monthly pet meds (Interceptor,Advantix, etc.) are A LOT cheaper online. I was wondering if anyone out there buys their stuff online, and if so what site!! I know my vet and the pet store costs soooo much for these things, so anywhere to save a few bucks helps!

| I did the research on my pet meds and found that it was just as cheap to buy them from my Vet. But, he did save me quite a bit of money. I use Revolution on my dogs. Instead of buying the small tube for small dogs, he sells me the big tube (which is the same price) and just give them the proper doses. I can get 4 doses out of one tube that way. That's the best money saver I've found.

| I ordered from petmeds, than found their revolution cheeper on another site. They honored that price plus $5 bucks off & free shipping. It's a lot cheaper than what my Vet charges. |

| I buy my Heartgard through PetShed.com, but go to the feed store for Frontline. I, too, buy the tubes for the largest dogs and measure out smaller doses for my Yorkie and lab mix. I get about three doses per dog out of one vial. Be sure to make sure your dose is correct; too little won't do you any bood and too much isn't good for the dog. |

| You might want to speak with your vet about a discount. Some vets will honor the on-line price from petmed if you are a long time customer or if you buy a larger amount (i.e. 1 yr worth of meds). I know the vet hospital my wife works at will usually give a discount to a long time customer of they buy a years worth of product. Terrance Ferragame

| My vet is simply too high on prices. I get most of my stuff now from vetamerica.com. My vet wanted 35 bucks for a six month supply of heartgard plus while vet america charges that much for a full year supply. Vet frontline plus 20 bucks per application, vetamerica 10 bucks a application. I guess it depends on your vet but the few I have spoken prices seem to be way higher than online.

| Thanks, and I think I'm going to go ahead and order online. My vet charges a fortune and I just wanted to ask around and see if others bought online.

| Pet Meds On Line We have gotten all of our monthly meds on line for several years with no problem. We use Pets Megastore from Australia. I usually just call them because I am reluctant to put my credit card numbers on the computer. They are always very nice and helpful and the stuff arrives in just a few days. It is usually a lot less expensive than getting it here in The States. |

| www.lambriarvetsupply.com They deliver anywhere in the US. I just got a 3 month supply of Frontline for $20 or so. Ask for Lizz if you call the 1-800 #. (P.S. You get better deals if you call or email the reps.) If you would like an email address for my friend/sales rep. that I work with, PM me. I am more than happy to help. They sell tons of pet supplies at great prices. I have saved tons. |
