Expensive pets

sloughflint

For those of us who have expensive pets who need prescription diet food or medication, I stumbled across this excellent website:
http://www.vetuk.co.uk

It's saving me a fortune!
Some items require prescriptions. I checked with the local vets and if I need a presciption ( I don't yet), they are not allowed to charge for one so I will be buying all my stuff from above website from now on.

thanks we need a plug in air diffuser for our dog she is afraid of firworks .if we go to the vets you get charged a consultaion fee as well as the goods so should save some money here.

Luckily we are insured but the cost of these tablets has just risen threefold. Apparently our vet has been selling them under priced for last three years and didn't realise . They don't sell them on there but the worming tablets are a better price....................so thank you .

Maybe I've just got particularly expensive vets. We buy Pancrex ( is that the same as you?). Pay £65 at vets and £41.99 with website and that includes P&P.Huge saving.

my dog has panzym powder £46 at the vets,£35.99 on this website mine arrived this morning from the card that was sent with it it looks like the guy who runs it is a vet,what sort is your dog?i have a cavalier king charles she has only been on it 2 months and is a lot better thank god she got so thin.Do you have to get the special food as well mine did have it but is now on chappie as it is a low fat food recomended by the vet and a lot cheaper and is made by the same company as some of the special food and you can buy it in tin and dried variety

He's a 6 yr old alsatian. He went down to 27kg a couple or so years back. We also have to get Science Plan hypoallergenic zd food. It's the only hypallergenic food that works for him. He's worth every penny though ( except it's an eye opener to see that vets practices must make such bit profit margins)

there is only 2 dogs at my vets that have got EPI,one is mine the other is a german shepherd apparently they are really prone to this,my vet said the only cosolation is that my dog is small so the medication will last twice as long as the german shepherd,i have also put my healthy male cavalier on a lowfat diet and he is looking better for it,how long did it take your dog to get back to normal weight?
