Is ok to get the prescription only at vet? without purchacing the medicine there? I just found out for the extracly same stuff, it was 3 times of the price on line at the vet...:( |
petmeds.com? I think it's ok to do that. Just ask your vet next time you go in. |
Ask if your vet will price match. I know the vet I use will on heart meds and I think flea meds. I took in a printed ad from a website and they matched it and believe me I spent a lot of time looking for the cheapest price. |
Why do vets need to hike up their med price sooooo much, I felt deeply hurt after I digged out my old bills today :D Quote:

I totally believe u! I was doing same on food and flea control, but never thought about the vet will just 2 times more than online drugstores... Where do u get ur food and flea control? tnx Quote:

I have heard that some of those online places sell outdated items, so do be careful. That is a shame your vet charges so much. Mine keeps her prices low because she discourages shopping online. I wish they all would do that. They don't need to make money on those items! |
so shall i switch to some other vet? Quote:

Not if you are happy with him/her. There are a lot more reasons for going to or not going to a vet than just the price of flea and heartworm prevention. I was merely making a point that it is sad they charge so much. |
My vet also charges more but by the time I figured in the shipping, he wasn't charging that much more. And I have also heard that the online stores sometimes sell outdated products. It's sad they charge more but I can usually wait til I really need it then drop by and purchase it. |
It's okay to get them online as long as the site is trustworthy. Most of Ellie's stuff comes from entirelypets and allivet. It's expensive to run a practice and I think it's okay that they do charge a lot for some things, but I also thinks it's fine to ask for an rx and buy it somwhere else. ;) |
I always get Rio's meds from her vet. Last I checked, price was comparable to online. |
Flea Medicine Online My groomer told me that the frontline was made out of this country where they do not regulate it. She told me to buy it from my vet. I emailed and asked PetMeds about this but they never responded. Joyce |
I was leary to call our new vet, knowing he did not use the heartworm, HeartGuard, that I used. I had no problem. Thank heavens. |
