What is the best (cheapest) place online to buy pet meds? Frontline is OUTRAGEOUS on 1800petmeds.com. Is there a good, cheap place to buy online? Or is sticking with the veterinarian the best, cheapest bet?

We just got a new puppy and the vet specifically told us that Frontline that wasn't purchased through a certified dealer/vet clinic doesn't have any active ingredients. Frontline is even aware of the issue but there is nothing they can do to stop it. It's a crazy situation. Buying the real stuff is your safest/best bet.

It's all the real deal. Frontline isn't any different OTC than it is at the vet. Now there is a huge difference between a Hartz product and frontline.

I forget what we use but it is a heartworm pill and flea med all in one. We then buy tick collars from Beechwold Vet Hospital in Columbus who makes them themselves and we take it on and off the dog.

Is this some sort of joke? They don't even sell frontline! :)

Didn't realize they don't sell frontline, we don't use frontline and neither do my parents, but we buy everything from there from vaccines to flea meds.

What do you use for flea control? My guess is that frontline isn't the best they got out there. Most popular, but I'm sure there is stuff just as good, and maybe better, out there for less money.

We buy ours from Pet Shed, out of Australia. Five years, 3-4 dogs and 2 cats, no fleas.
