How to save a lot of money on Frontline Plus

[yorkiemomto4]

I have 4 yorkies. I have been doing this for a long time. Thats the only way i can supply 4 yorkies. I buy mine from ebay but i didnt think about just buying from my vet and save on shipping. I think from now on i will just buy from my vet.

This is a good tip and a real money saver although i do use Sentinel which takes care of the fleas also and have never had any problems with fleas, How does everyone handle the cost of the heartworm meds, I know i spend a fortune on them each month.

My two are on Advantage Multi I wonder if you can do the same for it?

I only use it when necessary--during flea season. Because there is such a difference between a 7 lb yorkie and a 22lb dog, I used the dosage for a cat, (.5) That gave me 8 doses.

In the future I am going to buy from Costco and let my daughter have the extra for her lab.

This is how I buy mine too.I also experimented with giving less than recommended to my babies.I had very good sucess giving them a minimal amount.

I buy generic heartguard from my vet....it is a hard pill not soft like heartguard....and it treats up to a 25lb dog, so I contacted my vet and he informed me I could use a pill cutter to cut the pill and give each of mine a half....works great for me....so a six pill box, I will get two months use out of.

I agree, I don't like to use any more than necessary. I do not treat mine unless they actually have fleas. Some years they only require one treatment, other years none at all. I've never had to treat them more than once in a year.

You get the Frontline that way? or is it a different brand?

You are in my neck of the woods so we treat pretty much the same way then. The way things are these days, you can't be too overprotective in my book.
