Flea Preventative Prices... WHEW! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Shelby&Seymour · 04-09-2011, 06:31 AM

Good Morning!
Spring is here and camping season is upon us!! We do a lot of camping and so I make sure that Shelby, Seymour & Seeger are ready to go & have what they need to prevent health issues due to parasites, worms and any other bugs that they can get.
I went to purchase this years Frontline for them and WHEW!!!!.... the prices have certainly gone up (but I guess what hasn't, right?) For 3 dogs, my bill for heartworm and flea preventatives was over 175.00 for this summer (I bought enough to get us thru the whole camping season). Has anyone else notice the outrageous prices? WOW!!!

..... but they ARE worth every penny!

Sorry the prices went up.

If you got 4 months of each for all 3 of them though, that is pretty cheap...

As of last year, a 12 month supply of Interceptor was $57 and one month of Frontline Plus was $18 here.

Wow... it is more expensive there! It just kind of floored me at first! I AM buying for THREE this year! (we purchased Seeger in Sept of last year

) Gotta take care of my Yorkies!

When I first purchased Frontline and Interceptor for Max, I hadn't had a dog in years, and I nearly fell over when the receptionist handed me the bill.

It is very expensive if you have multiple animals. I have 5 cats and 2 yorkies. I dont use it unless I see a flea on one of them but if I do they all get treated because if one has them you can pretty much figure some others have them also
