"izy aranh" wrote in message om... Are you not able to buy it from the reception like I am at my vet? Kim x Only for a 2 month supply and only after i have paid to have a so called check up from her, it is not even like i will administer the drops at the vets as i do this at home so why i even need to bring him in every few months is beyond me. This is my first cat and so i figure this is norm for everyone yes? Nope, not the norm, AFAIK. Seems to me you should be able to purchase it from the front counter at the vet's, without a check-up - & it's attendant fee - each & every time! An annual check-up makes sense, but not what you're dealing with. Is there another vet nearby who you could switch over to, perhaps? If so, a phone call first, inquiring about their policies (incl. the use of Frontline!), might help to decide. Or ask people who you know have pets, & see which vet(s) they're happy with.

Off topic, but the newest dog remedy K9 advantix caused a bad reaction
in 1 of my friends 3 dogs and the other 2 were itching but not as drastically. Her poodle with the bad reaction had to have a couple of doses of benedryl since once it is in the system, it stays there for at least a month. Poor lil girl... she shows her and the poodle was ripping her fur out. Hmmm. I put some Advantix on Happy the Killer Weiner Dog Friday. He rolleddd around in the grass forever. DH & I were musing about it. We thought he looked uncomfortable, like his skin was burning. He never showed any other symptoms though. He doesn't roll around like that with Frontline. Happy just had his annual vet trip Friday. He had to get his biting license renewed. (that's what DH calls his rabies shot). Sherry |

Hello I am new to posting on newsgroups; I am wondering if anyone can help me find a good online pet store that will ship frontline for cats to the UK. I have frankly had it with my vet and paying her the equivalent of $40 every 2 months just for her to walk in give me a smile and quick thumbs up after having just barely glanced at my cat, I swear the receptionist knows more than this woman. So having even confronted her with the absurdity of paying her for the privilege of buying frontline from her she recommended I may want to try and find a method more suitable to me....if I could that is. I figure while I am at it can anyone also tell me why this is still prescription only from the vets in the UK when it is widely used as an over the counter product in the USA, surely the first time it is used maybe it would be a good idea having the vet (or her receptionist around :-) after which really there should be no need for them if kitty has shown no ill effects to the product. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for reading. I'm also in the UK, My cat has to have seen by the vet in the last 6 months before you can buy Frontline. I buy the small spay bottle for around £20, (it's been a while since I bought any). I just use a few squirts every couple of months. I find you don't need to coat the animals entire fur in it (as per the instructions) for it to be effective. |

Thanks to everyone who replied, Kim I would love to take you up on
your offer I am based North West but then I would really rather not feel to impose on you.. Besides I think a more permanent solution as a few others have suggested is in order. I know of only two other people who keep pets, one he likes fish and the other well she just loves parrots and in fact it was her who recommended my current vet... besides being only a few minutes from where I live she also happens to be a very kooky ol' lady was what she said. Kooky or not I know now that this vet is pretty much robbing me blind, I actually really do not mind the cost at all any amount is worth spending on kitty it is really just HER (the vet's) attitude towards this racket (think that word about sums up what is going on here) she knows I guess that she can get away with pretty much doing this. I have started looking into finding another vet even though most are based fairly far away, as for the person who mailed me this website http://www.pets-megastore.com.au ......thank you it looks very promising as they even mention that Customs would not be a problem as long as any Frontline order was relatively small in amount. |
