cheap frontline

Hello

I have been looking for some cheap frontline for cats, the cheapest I've found is about £16 for 6 from hyperdrug. I've since been told that a lot of the cheap online ones are imported and not correctly formulated for the UK. Does anyone know if this is true, and if so are where I can get some proper UK frontline at the best price?

thanks

    That's a competitive price. I use vetuk and it's a little more.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    Keeping fleas at bay is not cheap.

    secondly even `proper' Frontline is not working well these days. I recommend Advantage & Stronghold & no they are not cheap.

    I've used wormers.co.uk for frontine and drontal for my dogs for years. Their prices are competitive (although not always the very cheapest), excellent service and free delivery. And, as far as I am aware it is the proper UK products - well the writing on the front is in English at least!
  • The two best website for cheap frontline are petmeds & vetuk or alternative you could try Effipro that will save you almost 20% on cost compared to Frontline and both use the same active ingredient Fipronil.

    petmeds.co.uk
    (Free postage for the first order and second when you spent over £29)

    Frontline for Cats 3 Pack = £10.00
    Frontline for Cats 6 Pack = £16.00
    Effipro for Cats 4 Pack = £10.40

    vetuk.co.uk
    (Postage will cost at £3.99 but free postage when you spent over £19)

    Frontline for Cats 3 Pack = £10.37
    Frontline for Cats 6 Pack = £17.28
    Effipro for Cats 4 Pack = £10.15

    Effipro idea for me because I have 4 cats and it work just as good...
    Hope this help anyone here and good luck to you all! :j

    These are just like medicines for humans. Nuerofen is say £4 a box and sainsburys ibuprofen is 20p both contain ibuprofen 200mg which is the drug that you want for pain relief. I know people who have used all the different fipronil products on the market and never had a problem with fleas. Aslong as they contain the same dose of fipronil and are legal licenced products they will work just the same

    I always used Frontline on my dog and cats but started to use Effipro as this is exactly the same as Frontline but much cheaper.

    I buy from this place http://www.animeddirect.co.uk/Home/Search-Results.html?filter_type=6&filter_action=0&filter_name=SearchTerm&filter_value=effipro

    I recently bought 10 months supply for 1 medium dog and 3 cats for £48 (they had a 10% discount off and found another discount code online). Our dog has an allergy to fleas and we have had no problems so far this year with any
