Re: Pet Meds on-line

Jeannie I think that was my whole point when I first posted my question
about buying the meds on-line. I do pay an outrageous price for my vet
visits to begin with because A. He is located in a higher priced area where
everyone automatically charges more and B. My dog/cats are comfortable
there. We used one vet for years but as he got older, he also got a bit
grumpier and every time my dog just wasn't comfortable going there. She
would growl whenever the vet came near her and she would little take a crap
in the exam room each and every time which was really surprising because my
dog is extremely submissive. Our dog prior to this one never behaved that
way, but this one just doesn't like that vet. So when we found this clinic
and the dog actually never hesitated going in the door, I knew that it was a
good match. I have absolutely no problem paying what his bills are, but I
do have the right to look somewhere else for meds. If I'm charged 30
dollars for one month Rx for meds and I can get 100 pills for $18, this is
where I am willing to bend cause the dog doesn't care where the meds come
from as long as they are the right meds.
