Flea Medicine Question

[Roxyluvsme13]

My mom was going to buy flea meds for Lily and Tallulah today at the Vet's office, but they're sooo outrageously expensive.

The vet assistant we talked to told us to check online. I just checked 1800PetMeds and seeing as you have to buy multiple doses and it would be like $80, not gonna work right now.

Does anybody know of any sites that you can order single doses of Frontline, Revolution, or Advantage from?

not sure.. I bought a while back some flea stuff from petsmart and was pretty satisfied... it worked nicely and not too expensive.. maybe like 13-15.. it was a flea n tick solution.. you dabbed the dog with it where needed..

not sure brand though.. it was a while back..lol

A vet's office is about the only place you're going to find that will offer single doses of Frontline, etc. Law requires those medications to be sold in their original packages with the inserts and stuff. The vets can break up packs for long time clients if they have an insert to give out with it. Online places, and pet stores can't do this.

I was looking on Amazon and Ebay and places like that to see if they had single doses and I'm guessing my best bet is Ebay. I would pay the $41 to get them flea meds but it was my mom's money and she said we'd look for it cheaper somewhere else, so...

I'll see what I can do though.

Isabel, if you think of the brand name, let me know

I've never seen single doses on line, and I buy both the dogs' and the cats' on line.

Keep in mind, if you buy 3 doses, the cost per dose is higher than if you buy a 6 pack. And a 6 pack will cost more, per dose, than a 12 pack.

If you know you are are going to use 6 doses, I' suggest you just get that.

I go a bit nutty with online buying an often set up a spread sheet to figure out which site has the best price.

I know it's cheaper if you buy multiple doses, since one does for Tallulah and one dose for Lily was going to be $41 but I found like a 4 pack of Advantage for $37.99 or something like that. I dunno, I'll just have to discuss what I find with my mom and see what she says. Maybe it will be cheaper at a different vet's office as well.
