Rip Off Vet Medication fees!
Do NOT ever buy medication for your pet from the vets and pay the £22 for a 6 month prescription instead. Our Vet In Fakenham Norfolk quoted £56 for 1 'Bravecto'tablet, the same tablet from Pet drugs online is £18!

A Vet practice and online pharmacy have vastly different overheads, storage capacity and buying power.
Amazon versus corner shop is a fair comparison.

My dog is on long term anti inflammatory meds. My vet actually told me not to get meds from them, except for the initial prescription to try out the meds first to see if they worked for my dog. He explained that they are limited on what they can stock so only stock small quantities so they don't have waste, plus online I can get 6 months supply in one go.
They send the prescription directly to the supplier after I have ordered and with the prescription cost (£22) 6 months meds cost £76 which was only £20 more than the first trial prescription that only lasted 14 days. My vet is independant and not out to rip off their customers
