If she bought her frontline online she would save even more  ;D

Edit - just googled and although its not the one my friend uses, I just learned you can get droncit spot on so I could treat my cats myself. Time to drop the money grabbing vet
You would still need to treat for roundworm tho

That was the one my friend had  ;D

Its really annoying as she got it from the vet next door to me  :evillaugh:

They seem a lot cheaper too.

she got 6 months Frontline and profender for 2 cats, ditto for one dog, consultation and antibiotics for the dog. Total was £119.00

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

There is also now a spot on wormer called Profender that does roundworm and tapeworm.  Only available from Vets and more expensive than tablets but better value for money if, like me, it takes about four attempts to get tablets in your cat.

Please spay your cat

Spot on tapeworm treatment?

My friend & I were comparing vets tonight. None of mine will take pills but her vet (who is next door to me) gives her frontline and another spot on (can't remember the name) that you give them 2 days later for the tapeworm. I wonder why my vet doesn't offer it?
