Title: Huge variation in prices for pet meds
Post by: Mark on July 22, 2009, 18:08:30 PM

Ipakitine is about £12.50 from the company I won't speak of any more. I just checked Best Pet Pharmacy and its over £22  :Crazy:

I will have to get googling - otherwise I will order from the nameless ones on my mum's account  :evillaugh:

 :-[  ok so 150 is £20. I would still go with them though even though they are more expensive. I'm terrible as I will stick to a company if I know they are really good with good service.

It is a huge price difference though  :-:

Out of the companies i use vetuk do the 6 for £16.93 and viovet were 2nd place with £17.49, i sometimes find cheaper but wont use a site if its cheaply made or iv never heard of them, rather not risk  having the hassle!

Yup just had a look at several places Vet-uk is coming up as cheapest (for 6). I take it delivery is free as I can't find the shipping wotsit. Viovet was the 2nd cheapest and delivery is just a couple of pound (or free if you spend over £60).

I also need to order Cystaid so that could be pricey so I will just go with the cheapest within reason. I have seen Ipakitine for around £14 somewhere else.
