Just for an example...Frontline combo or stronghold can only be done through prescription and is so much cheaper online but you need a prescription.
Frontline is ok without a prescription as the license has been lifted but its not working as good as it used to. I was told by a vet nurse that since being released they have lowered the amount of the drug used in it than when only vets sold it. Not sure if this is right or not.
I can understand if a diagnosis is required for an illness but for routine flea treatment it would be good to find a vet that would be willing to write prescriptions. |
