Will you be so kind and see if you can get me an on-line address to this Canadian source? Thanks. My vet won't give me a prescription for heart worm pill for Petmeds.com.
I've lost a lot of respect for vets over the last 10 years.(It's only about the money these days, period.)
Try petshed.com. Good prices. Good service and very fast! : ) Stuff works!

I have, too. Coincidentally, or maybe not, about 10 years ago I moved from an area where most of a vet's practice was geared to large animals to an area where a vet's practice is almost exclusively small animals (pets). One of my neighbors has spent probably $15-20,000 on his dog. Every time the dog goes in for a surgery, they (the dog & his owner) come out in worse shape. Meanwhile, the vet has built himself a fancy new office.
Now, now. Don't lump all vets in that pot. My vet is excellent. He really cares about my pets and me. I have been taking my pets to him for over 25 years, since he began practice here. He also treats wild animals for free when the police or animal control call him about a wounded bear, eagle, etc.
Based on my personal experience, I would respectfully disagree. Like the vets in the original post, my vet discourages Petmeds. Same reasons, etc. At the same time, however, my vet is more than willing to tell people to buy the same pet food, vitamins, etc., that she sells at discount places like PetSmart, PetCo, etc. If she only cared about profit, she wouldnt tell people they could buy "Purina One" cheaper at PetSmart than they can from her. So when she says there are legitimate reasons to avoid petmeds, I believe her.
