| Order from PetShed I bought Frontline Plus from PetShed out of Australia , the prices are very good i think. I noticed that once the order came, that on the box from Australia it didnt list all of the ticks on it as the US version did. I called PetShed a few minutes ago and asked the question and he said that Australia has different ticks than the US that requires other medication so therefore it's not listed on their box. But it does prevent all US ticks that are on the US box, deer tick, brown tick,etc. I'm not so sure that i feel safe with protection... should I? I was going to go to the vet tomorrow and buy another box from here, am i being too paranoid? Thanks a bunch! |

| Frontline I don't blame you for going to a vet to check out the package you got.It will ease your mind and might just save your little one.I don't think I would use a product made out of states unless my vet said it was ok and safe to use.Good luck.

| I think I would buy another box, as it may not give you full protection. We also have different types of meds in the UK for example you dont get heartworm here so I think your frontline you have may be different. We dont get rabies shots either unless you are taking your pet abroad

| Thanks! Thats what i am going to do. The price was too good. I bought a 3 pack of Frontline Plus from my vet for $30 i got a 6 pack from PetShed for $43.95. Cant beat that price really. I already used one on her and she's fine so i will go to the vet on Saturday and find out. |

| I actually bought a package from them last month, I didnt even notice that. I actually didnt get the front line this last year the fleas were so bad in this area my vet suggested i try something else. I live in a area very very bad with fleas and ticks, and they get used to it after a while. I uses front line for ages and so far had done it's job till last summer, and it just didnt seem to help at all. so Doc suggested I try advantage so thats what i got at the end of last summer. and it did good. Now that the yucky season of fleas and ticks is almost upon us, I ordered a box from petshed last month, and used it on Roger I didnt notice anything different as to that brand on the box, Mine actually came out of canada though, didnt say australia. Wonder if they have sources in other areas and just have them drop ship for them. I think some of this stuff works for some dogs and in some areas. Differently. I swore by the forntline till last year, again I still do think t is good, I just think we4 have some fleas and ticks that have grown smarter! LOL But you do have me wondering so I think I will take my box to the vets and have him check it. Rena |

| The Owner of the doggie daycare I use also orders Frontline Plus from PetShed and says she is very happy with the price, etc. (She has 2 greater swiss mountain dogs and has been using the PetShed Frontline Plus since last summer with no problems.) |

| packaging is different in AU but I believe product is the same. personally I like Equine megastore better. They usually are about a $1-5 dollars cheaper depending what you buy and the shipping is a bit cheaper. Petshed charges $5 for 1st item and 41 extra for each additional item. Equine Megastore right now is charging $4.85 no matter how much you order. I have been using Equine Megastorefor Flea Tick and heartworm meds for quite awhile and no problems and shipping is fast

| Hey ladies and gents! just so you know, I took my advantage box down to my vets had myself a big scared over this I know you have been speaking about forntline, but made me wonder since this is the first time I had ordered from them, and I was worried I may have hurt my little Roger, anyhow doc says it is the exact same stuff. The box did have a few things different on it. But Mine wasnt australian, mine was candian also, and he said as far as ingredients, It was exactly the same. I feel better! i did however ask him on the frontline, he said he really couldnt comment without seeing the actual ingredients on the box. But he did say they could be different. so you are asking a very smart question about this! He suggested check with your local vet. Take the box directly to them to see it. Hope it helps some, Rena |

| I'm getting paranoid again because it's the season for ticks. i called the actual company Merial and asked what the difference is and they told me that the ingredients are the same, the only difference is the Australia verison is not EPA approved. Hmm.... what should i do |
