| My goodness.... sometimes I wonder where my brain is! Everything I shop for, I comparison shop (including on Ebay) and I have never thought to look for these meds on Ebay. I did look on Petmeds.com but my vet is smart enough to underprice them (just barely though) so it's not worth it to order from there. I guess I would wonder about the potency of the Ebay meds and wonder why you don't need a prescription like you would if you ordered from Petmeds. I'm going to look at my latest vet bill when I get home and compare the price of what I just recently got to some on Ebay.

| Wow, thanks for quick responses back ! I was really nervous about buying from ebay, but since some (Dior's mom & Mybabyboymax) of you have had good experiences with it, I'll be definitely giving it a try ! Thanks again everyone. P.S. If Dior's mom could pm with her seller that would be great |

| I would LOVE to be able to spend less. Last month we took both dogs and both cats to the vet. Tatum was the only one that didn't need any meds but Stormie and both cats were out of theirs. The bill was atrocious! Tatum and Stormie (the Aust. Shep) both use K9 Advantix and then also a heartworm/flea pill (the name escapes me at the moment) but the cats only get the topical one specifically for cats. If I were to get the one that you mentioned, how would I know how much to put on the two different size dogs? I'll have to do some comparison shopping to see how these are sold. I'm sure someone sells the packages of a 6-month supply of little individual premeasured ones.

| I was just looking at your seller's link and if I read it right, he's saying that you can buy the large tube and use the exact amount for your small dog and the exact amount for your larger dog. Correct? I would just need to know the exact measurements for each size dog I have? Does the following statement in his listing mean that it's NOT actually K9 Advantix but instead a "knock off"?? THIS TUBE CONTAINS THE EXACT SAME INGREDIENTS AS K9 ADVANTIX® MARKETED FOR SMALL DOGS. Or does it just mean that it IS K9 Advantix but just not packaged in small tubes?

| I'm a big Ebayer, but I wouldn't buy flea control products off Ebay. There are a lot of counterfeit products on the market. The only safe place to buy them is from your vet or a licensed online pet pharmacy like Dr. Fosters and Smith, KV Vet Supply, etc. Flea products at the retail level are the ones that can be counterfeit. A gal on another forum got counterfeit Frontline from Petedge. Here's an article from the EPA about the counterfeits and what to look for: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/factsheets/petproduct.htm |

| The tube i get is one dose for a larger dog, he give you a syringe and you take out .4 for a does every month. very simple and saves alot of money. The tube that he sells you comes sealed the tube that k9 advantix. It is not a knock off. I also get my heartgaurd for cheap as well but that isnt from ebay.
