Ridiculous
By Grammy on Aug 23, 2020
I got a 6 moth supply that is in a very small box and was shipped in a box that would easily hold 10-20 of the small boxes. Then I later (just a couple of days) got he other 6 month supply shipped the same way. They could lower their prices substantially by mailing both boxes together and in a much smaller box, once.They would also save on postage. It seems to me the need an efficiency expert to show some common sense to their employees.

Product good, pharmacy Dept, not so much
By Bella on Aug 7, 2020
Vet wrote incorrect weight range on rx. However, my 7 lb dog fell into the range ordered. Took 2 calls to my vet, the 15% discount was disregarded even though I requested on both calls to me. Finally got all 3 rxs after several weeks of nonsense.

The only heartworm preventative for my tiny babies.
By YorkieMom on Nov 9, 2019
I don't like giving any heart worm preventative and putting that insecticide in my babies' bodies, but it's a necessary evil in NC; my vet carries only preventative that is for up to 25 lb. dogs, and my babies are in the 2 lb. to 5 lb. range, so I absolutely will not give them something that has enough poison for a 25 lb. dog. I've used Interceptor (Not the "plus" version that has additional poison for fleas) for years with no negative results that I'm aware of. My babies do not have fleas, and are inside 95% of the time, so I do not use any flea preventative of any kind. I use common sense when administering it - especially for my 2 lb. baby - so as not to "overdose."
