in Old style MoneySaving
Having tried shop flea treatment on my dog with not very good results, I went to the vet to buy the "strong stuff". (The "on the back of the neck" treatment.)

The cheapest I could buy was £22 for 3 tubes:eek: :eek:

Dooes anyone know of a website where I can get the same "stuff" any cheaper than that?

    Thank you!! It looks good, much cheaper. I've bookmarked it and will buy treatments from there in future ( sadly spent the £22 at the vet's today :mad: )

    I didn't know Frontline had been de-licensed, so this is really useful to me - thanks.

    I spent I think £21.70 at the vet, but looking at the packet it was the combo. I'm just wondering if it really is a saving if you buy the "ordinary" Frontline?

    Out of interest I once took a flea packet back to Sainsbury's (empty) and said that it didn't work - and got my money back!

    I know frontline is the best for fleas, but what treatment is the best for worming? There's so many, how do you choose?

    Grrr! Wish i'd looked here too!

    Just spent £27 on the six pack of Combo Frontline at my local vet today. I'll use that website in future.

    If it makes you feel slightly better, only a vet can sell the combo frontline :D and it is more expensive
