I bought Advocate from my vets last month. It cost me £26 for 3 pipettes. Today I asked them for a prescription which cost me £5 plus £1.75 admin fee and ordered 6 pipettes from Vetuk for £22.96. Plus delivery is free of charge. So I've saved myself over £20. I think I should have married a vet!!

has any body ordered products from this site. I'm suspious as price is great but why no prescription required ?

Oh this is an old thread i could have sworn i already wrote in it lol, well anyway we get 3 pippets of advocate at our new vets for £13

Hi All,
I've just had 3 pippettes of Advocate from my vets, for normal flea protection but also as my pup has demodectic mange, (the Advocate has cleared it perfectly). However it has cost me inc. VAT £34.40 and I can get it a lot cheaper online, however of course I would rather get it from a reputable site asking for a prescription. Can vets as a general rule refuse to give you a prescription. Thanks

Hi,
I have had a prescription from my vet for met a cam, they charged me ten pounds for the prescription but it was a lot cheper on line i think they must give you one because then you are able to go to any vet on or off line

thanks for your reply. I will use these pipettes up first and then go about asking for a script next time. Im just hoping he might grow out of it lol

Hi,

Legally, a vet cannot refuse to issue you a written prescription so long as the animal meets the criteria - meaning has been seen by a vet recently and determined to be healthy enough to have the appropriate treatment.

There is no set fee for issuing a written prescription so prices may vary from anywhere around £7 to £12. However, a vet cannot charge such a high fee that it would put you off trying to buy the medicine cheaper elsewhere.

Vets usually issue prescriptions of Advocate for 6 months supply, but there is no reason why they can't issue them for 12 months supply, so push for 12 months (I always do) and save yourself the cost of two lots of fees.

I have used both 365 Vets and Animed for my Advocate with no problems.

Although one of the oldest threads ever, still good info.
Although I am nearly certain there is some malicious posts in this thread trying to get people to buy from two sites which are simply too good to be true (and now don't exist).
