Hi everyone,
been looking all over the site forum but got a bit lost, so thought I would type my own message :-:
when we got little Pootle we where given Frontline Combo and Milbemax, now its time to buy some more so wheres the best place? and should I be using this or are there any other suggestions please? ;D
I have found this website does it look cheap here? www.petcaremart.co.uk
Do we need a prescription? some websites are saying we do, this seems funny to me and Pootle and we don't understand it!!
Any help appreciated thanks everyone,
oh and heres a picture of Pootle riding my other halfs motorbike to make you smile :wow:

Have you tried VetUK? (if you buy them please use one of the links via the "links" page as this means a recue will get commission http://www.purrsinourhearts.co.uk/index.php?action=links;cat=7 )
BTW ... Love the pic of Pootle the "Hells Angel" .... she is sooo pretty :Luv2:

Sorry Jo but that's just plain irresponsible... where is Pootle's helmet :naughty: :evillaugh:
Frontline Combo DOES require a prescription and seeing as your vet can now charge (whatever they like) for it then it may not be much cheaper, if at all, to get it online - the same goes for Milbemax. Normal frontline spot on DOESN'T need a prescription and is normally loads cheaper online. You can also get Drontal worming tablets without a prescription but they're quite big so you either need to be skilled with hiding tablets or good at forcing them down!

Hi Helen,
thanks for the message, :wow: what a quick reply.........and thanks SAM for the Vetuk website I will have a look.
Don't worry she didn't have the keys on her at that time........... don't worry she has racing leathers and a helmet, it is a sight!!
It's a bit like the attached helmet! ;)
Will she be ok with Normal frontline spot on? whats the main difference?
Yeah she eats everything we put down so can't see a problem with a larger tablet, shoudl we get this from vetuk as well?
thanks for your help everyone its really appreciated

Frontline Combo treats the environment too by killing any flea eggs, larvae etc so belt and braces really. Frontline spot on is fine - if you have a flea problem rather than just treating as a preventative measure then you can get vet strength flea sprays (Indorex, Acclaim, Staykill etc) to treat the environment once a year.

You can get the Drontal from VetUK too, they're not palatable so I doubt she'd eat one willingly though! I normally hide them in a blob of dairylea cheese :shify:
