Borr 4,502 Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 I generally get fleeced, I tried getting a prescription and one lot charged me £50 for a health check, then I found a better place managed to get a couple of tablet off of one prescription. Then told missus to grab couple after prescription had run out and they charged £80 for two dogs. Ask vet for an open prescription in theory you can have twelve doses for the year, if you win the lottery. Then buy online as many as you want... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its not really the price of the tablet that's bugging me it's the vet wanting to see the dog before they will let me buy it. In the lockdowns etc they were turning people away with stuff and not doing non emergency procedures and now they're wanting to see her for feck all just to get some cash.

They wanted to charge me £50 for a health check which is not required. Wiped the floor with them so am looking for some too ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One tablet covers them for a month and supposedly kills round, heart & lung worms as well as Ticks & Fleas, but not Tape worms. Bitch used to regularly pick up ticks, but since taking these I haven't seen any sign. Cannot tell you the cost because there has always been other charges involved.

I always run my hands over a dog after we been out and check for tick's..terriers get the odd few, certain places,and the ferrets...my hairy runner has a flea allergy...can only use the old advantage stuff ,use frontline,her fur falls out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
