Kiger Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Can you buy this stuff without a prescription from the vet now? I saw it for sale on a website and it looks like it is now over the counter. I hated going to the vet just to get flea control so this would be great news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 According to this you can! [url]http://www.1800petmeds.com/ph_results.asp?searchtype=group&searchstring=OTC&curpage=1[/url] At least for Frontline...didn't check for advantage. Is your vet nice enough to just let you call in and get it? Ours will, and ours is a lot cheaper than what you get on line. Didn't get any last year and had NO flea or tick problems! YEAH!

Carolk9s Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I have gotten my last two orders of Frontline from KV Vet Supply, they were the cheapest. Went to their site just now, seems they no longer have it! AARRGGHH! Did not charge extra for shipping on that either. I also checked [url]http://www.healthypets.com[/url] Right now, the 6 pack for dogs 45-88 lbs is $42.85. The 6 pack for dogs 23-44 lbs is $40.85. They have a flat rate shipping of $3.50 unless your order is over $100, then no shipping fee. This is in the U.S. so not sure who it might be helpful to.

Guest Anonymous Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 [quote name='newfiemom']I just received the new Foster & Smith catalog.

Guest Anonymous Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Yes, on their website. And they compaired their food to Wellness...somewhere. Here's the link to the page.

Carolk9s Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 If you're interested, you can definitely save money using healthypets.com I have used them before and always happy with the service, speed of shipping, and their willingness to make it right if a mistake occurred. I once ordered a 5 lb bag of Missing Link Plus. They mistakenly sent me a 1 lb bag. I went online and talked to a customer service rep. Asked if they would send me the remaining 4 lbs in 1 lb bags or what? She said it was our mistake, I will get the 5 lb bag out to you tonight and don't worry about the 1 lb it won't be charged to you. I was pleased with that response. No, I am not affiliated with them in any way! On the BELG-L list, we frequently have 'who knows the cheapest and/or best info for ???' discussions.

Kiger Posted January 8, 2003 Author Share Posted January 8, 2003 I was surprised that the food looked good too, but it would have been nice if they had included the ingredients in their catalog. I think it's kinda odd that they sell Iams since it looks like they put some effort into creating their own food and therefore have an idea of what's good. Iams is like sawdust now. If you want a good laugh check out the Hill's website where they compare their food to a whole bunch of actual premium food. Theirs is "better" because dogs like the taste more. I bet my dog likes potato chips more too! Plus it comes in cool shapes so it must be better. :roll: It took me 10 minutes just to find the ingredient list and look at the first 5: [b]Brewers rice, ground wheat, turkey meal, corn gluten meal, soybean meal[/b] Hmmm.... :-? Here's their oh so scientific test: [url]http://naturesbest.sciencediet.com/more/difference.asp[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alicat613 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 For flea control the best prices I've found were at [url]www.petpharmacopia.com[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolk9s Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 [url]http://petpharmacopia.com/default.html[/url] is right in line with healthypets for frontline but I saw that their price on glyco-flex III is $13 higher per 120 tablet bottle than KV Vet. I just bought two bottles of that and it will last me less than 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
