Now Lyn why would you be looking for cheap, are you sure you can afford
the animals you currently have, or should they be given to someone who
can buy them only top grade Advantage...

Thanks! That's about 25% less than other sites I have looked at. I
buy the large dog size and split it up into smaller dog doses. I
don't need to dose the cats - they stay flea-free from the dog being
treated.

Sounds like a troll.

You know there is nothing wrong with looking for a price break. While I
don't agree with splitting doses on this type of medications it doesn't
necessarily mean that she or anyone else can't afford to take care of their
animals.

I had a lab/husky who for years had cancer & severe arthritis I asked my vet
for a prescription to buy his pain medications on line or else to give me a
break in price and I'd buy from him. It in no way meant that I couldn't
afford to take care of Barney. I'd have people tell me I was nuts for
spending $70.00 a month on medications for him. I'd just say well hell I
spend over $300.00 a month on my transplant medications so what the hell is
the difference. It's my money I'll spend it how I want.

I agree, but Lyn knows exactly why I made that commernt, her idea of a
fit home is one that is very large and there is plenty of cash to flow
around, skimping is not permitted for others, according to her past
posts when the Conan discussion was happening.

Of course there isn't - those who do not are foolish.

Advantage formulation is exactly the same for dogs and cats. It is
perfectly safe to buy in bulk and aliquot what you need per dose as
long as you do so accurately, and store the meds properly. Many people
with multiple pets do so. In fact, the Advantage sales rep is the one
who suggested I do this initially - he was a pretty good mensch.

Good for you - you undoubtedly received much more back in terms of love
from him over his final years. I did similar with my dog Tosh over her
last 9 months. I just wish her quality of life woulf have held out
longer.

I am extremely frugal. I am not into consumerism for the economy's
sake.

1200-1500 sq ft isn't "very large". 5000 sq ft is "very large".

and there is plenty of cash to flow
around,


Only in terms of actually being able to afford meds like Advantage,
decent foods and proper vet care. I don't care where anyone purchases
their drugs. If they are wise enough to save a buck, good for them. I
have counseled many a person on where to buy less expensive pet
products in the past.

skimping is not permitted for others, according to her past
posts when the Conan discussion was happening.


Where did you get that idea? The only thing I ever said was that I do
not personally place cats unless there is what I believe to be adequate
living space (I believe the statement I made was 1500sq/ft with
humans), and that I would not adopt to anyone who is not financially
solvent and stable. The reasons for this are many, and I have outlined
them a couple of times. I am sorry if my criteria burns your ass. Too
bad. But I don't think you'll be adopting a cat from me anytime soon,
anyway.

I was going to buy the large dog dose and split it up for my cats, but I
found out from my vet that, once it's open, it goes "bad" quickly. Do you
have left-overs? If so, how do you store it?
