You can buy it straight from the chemist without a prescription.

This just gets better and better!:j Could I get from Boots do you know? I buy the med sized spray do you happen to know if I could buy that there as well? Many many thanks for the fab info.

This thread has surfaced after a year! I now use https://www.vetuk.co.uk They seem to be slightly cheaper than bestpet, delivery is free and superfast Lots of other companies have sprung up now aswell but vetuk seem to be ultra competetive and the service is fantastic.

The frontline spray still requires a prescription, by law your vet cannot charge for issuing one though (up until Nov 08). The animal needs to be under his/her care. Frontline spot on doesn't need a prescription, the Frontline Combo spot on does...

Take a look at this thread for loads of peoples recommendations of online places selling Frontline and other pet medicines

I'm not too sure as my mum buys it - she just gets it from our local chemist 6 of them (for 6 treatments) are about £26. I'm not too sure about the spray though - sorry. I think they will probs have it in boots.

hi there
Got all my pets medications from www.petdispensary.co.uk, the frontline/drontal etc were all cheaper on this site than any of the above. Frontline Spot On and drontal wormers don't require a prescription so you can just purchase this as and when you need it, excellent site and items were delivered the next day! I shopped around for ages looking for the cheapest and this site was the best one!

Hi
Frontline Spot On doesn't require a prescription and the best prices by far is from www.petdispensary.co.uk they also offer free post and packing and service is fantastic! I searched and prices defo the cheapest around. The Combo and Spray require a prescription which the vet has to write for you, but then you just post it to them and they can send out the medication. Saves a fortune!

You sure about that? Cat 6pack = £16.50. That's more expensive compared to post above.

Yes absolutely. As does Lyndsey.
This is what I posted on another of the 7 threads that lbwy posted in:
Me thinks there's some dodgy posting going on re petdispensary.co.uk....
Lynseyb33 = lbwy201 ?
So I will post here what I posted on another thread:
I think the trick is to check all sites mentioned in this thread at the time of needing to restock and to do your own calculations ( not forgetting quidco and such like). These places compete with each other and several price-match so room for bargaining as long as not in too much for a rush for supplies ie allow time for responses to emails.

What dirty tactics! What about good honest competition.

Also animalmedicines.co.uk is a good site with the fastest delivery I have ever come across. Ordered it mid afternoon / evening and it was delivered next day plus I think its National Flea Week or something like it tis week so its free delivery.
