HEARTWORM PREVENTION. where can i get the cheapest meds for two dogs over 60 lbs?

you need to go to your vet anyhow to have the dog tested first for heartworms.


if your dog has heartworms and you give them the medicine, it will kill them.





and since your at your vet, buy the meds from them as well.


dont purchase from Petmeds.


Petmeds buys overstock or outdated medicines from vets, that is the only way they can purchase them.





you have to be a veterinarian to purchase these meds from the supplier.

http://factipedia.com/pets has a link to a place where you can buy pet medications for prices well below most veterinarians. Report It

Reply:check online, you can order and get it pretty cheap from different sites.
Reply:I buy from PetMeds for my two Irish Setters (64 %26amp; 70 lbs.)
Reply:ask your vet.
Reply:ivermectin. get it at a farm/ranch supply place. you can get a 2 year supply for about 10 bucks. it's for horses and cows, so you have to be careful when you measure it. you'll need a syringe.
Reply:Online pharmacies may provide slightly cheaper prices for HW protection for you pets but let me tell you what you are NOT getting by ordering from them and use Heartgard as an example. When you buy Heartgard from a licensed veterinarian, you are also getting a guarantee from the company that produces Heartgard, Merial. Their guarantee would pay for treatment if your dogs became infected with heartworms, roundworms etc. while on Heartgard. When you buy from an online pharmacy, Merial will not honor that guarantee.





Another point to consider, you do not know the origin of your Heartworm prevention products when you order online. Veterinarians receive their supply directly from the manufacturer while online pharmacies can get their products from a middle man.





Some online companies may charge shipping for their product so when you add that in to the total the price may be equal to what you would pay from the vet.





Vet offices also offer other incentives such as mail in rebates etc.





If you order you product online, a notice will be sent to your veterinarian to confirm that your pets have been tested for heartworm within the past year. If they haven't, then your vet will reject the request.





You are more than welcome to consider online pharmacies, I just wanted to give you some additional information. Happy hunting.
Reply:It's going to depend on where you live.I live in a smaller more rural area,and Vet prices are low compared to other places.I can get my heartworm meds from the vet for about a dollar LESS than any online place I have found.I pay 32 dollars for 6 months of Interceptor plus.That's less than pet meds or any other place once shipping is figured in.
