Title: Frontline available in chemist shops
Post by: Mark on September 07, 2007, 16:18:52 PM: I was passing the local chemist this afternoon and they had a poster in the window for Frontline. I went in to get prices.

x 3 = £15
x 6 = £26

Post by: Mark on September 07, 2007, 16:25:20 PM: Yep. Its not a chain. Its just a regular old fashioned chemist shop where people get there bunion cream and anusol (I love that name for pile cream) :evillaugh:

It has all the original drawers with latin names etc. Would have been the chemist attached to my house when it was a doctor's surgery.

That's what I was paying at the vets before Frontline came off prescription - so guess they're making a good margin on that given that my vet now charges £17.95 for a pack of 6. Mind, I get it off vet UK which is even cheaper! :evillaugh:

Would be great if the supermarket chemists would stock this also ;)
