For those of you who have your dogs on heartworm | flea preventive medicine

Fleas have the potential to be really bad this year (like all years) due to high humidity and the warm rainy days that will provide optimum conditions for many to hatch.
I've done my research and am here to help you save money.
At 1800PetMeds, for a 6 pack of Comfortis for dogs weighing 10-20 lbs., the price is $94.99 and perhaps even higher at your local vet.
At Pet-i-Supply.com this same 6 pack of Comfortis sells for $56.95, plus $3.99 for shipping. At Pets-megastore.com.au Comfortis is even cheaper. Same product sells for $48.01, plus $4.82 for shipping.
Big difference. So what's the difference? Pet-i-Supply is not located in the United States and delivery for medication can take up to two weeks to receive. If you plan ahead, the savings can be very real, especially if you have more than one dog.
For Trifexis for Dogs - 21 - 33 lbs, 1800PetMeds want $114.99 (20 to 40 lbs) for a 6 pack. Online at Pet-i-Supply.com, the price is $76.95 (21 -33 lbs), plus $3.99 for shipping. Again, real savings if you plan ahead.

I get mine from my vet. It costs more, but after all they've done for me and my animals, I don't mind putting a few extra $$ in their pocket.

My vet told me that the drug companies only guarantee the drug when sold by a vet, so if your dog has a reaction, you're SOL vs if you buy it at a vet clinic, you may have some recourse.
I've also heard stories that those companies sell expired drugs or give "replacement" drugs.

Your vet is a good sales person.

The only thing that is different is the dog on the front of packaging and weight specifications. The two sites that I listed are very reputable for an overseas operation and do not sell expired medications.

I also get the meds from our vet. 3 dogs and 5 cats worth. It's not cheap bit I trust the vet that I am not getting a knock-off.

Different packaging and from overseas? You give this to your pets?

Yes. It's a different dog pictured and that's about it.
Places listed in OP above are from reputable companies located outside the United States (Australia). All you have to do is read the reviews, just like you would do if shopping in the United States to learn if they are a reputable company or not.
It's the same active ingredient (absolutely no differences), but at a cost that is less expensive. I've even shared this information with my Vet and he could not compete against their cost. He said "go with it."

Watch for cheap fakes. Sexy news guy on ABC said so last night.

My dog almost died from taking Trifexis that was purchased from my Vet. I'm pretty sure they would not buy me a new dog like the one I have now. After this took place I did some research and there has been multiple reports of this drug killing different breeds across the U.S. And yet my vet had no idea.
I understand the point you are trying to make but the vet will also try and sell you on science diet food or whatever they get a cut on and that's some of the most unhealthy food available for dogs. They get a incentives for using certain drugs just like doctors.

I buy from my vet because they somehow manage to get that vile smelling pill down the dog's throat, something I can't seem to be able to do. It's worth a few bucks not to have to deal with that.

i know several people who use these sites mentioned for years now and never had a single problem with the meds themselves.
Good lookin out Will.

For Comfortis and Trifexis, my dogs eat them without any need for a pill pocket or peanut butter.
However, if you are having trouble getting your dog to take medication, pill pockets from Costco are wonderful.

The young vet tech can get my dog to do shite it would take 4 grown men to handle. 
As for the pill, place it on the porch or floor and smother it with easy cheese. Dog should gobble it up no problem.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know they made such things.

Do the heartworm shot. I pay $30 for my pug and $50 for my lab and it lasts 6 months.
