Right. Your vet is basically selling at a little above the on-line
cost. One treatment for $10 is $60 for a sixpack - and the online cost
is $40-$45 or so for six vials. If your vet's throwing in 4 more vials
gratis - then that's a nice perk - but one probably not obtainable from
a cheaper vet ...

No, no....I paid for every vial. What I meant was that the vet could have
insisted that she personally examine all five cats before selling me the
Revolution and that would have meant five office visits. As it was, I paid
for one office visit, which was $40 (for the foster cat since she had never
seen him before), and she just sold me the Revolution for the other cats,
sight unseen, although obviously since the others were her regular patients,
she had seen them at other times in the past.

If you've got fleas in the house, buy a container of "Fleabusters"
powder. You need to get them out of the carpets or flooring in your
home. A jar of powder costs about 22.95. There's not much you can do
about about the cost of Frontline/Advantage/Revolution. The cheaper
products are not just ineffective - they can really be harmful. If you
buy online at drsfostersmith.com - you can get a Frontline sixpack for
about $45 plus shipping.

My vet (who is expensive) charges around $10 per treatment for
Revolution. It seems to me that EADGBE is not going to save a whole lot
of money by ordering on-line. That having been said, I understand I am
not taking into account the cost of the veterinary visit. A few months
ago, we brought in a foster cat who turned out to have fleas (I had
been assured that the cat did not have fleas and foolishly neglected to
check myself). My veterinarian was willing to examine just the one cat
while providing me with enough Revolution to treat my other four cats
myself at home. So, that may be a possibility...
