Hi friends. I have two pugs that are about 12 years old. They have a lot of allergies and cannot have flea and tick meds squirted on their backs.
For the last 5 or 6 years, I have been giving them Nexgard chewable flea/ tick meds, but I'm tired of taking them to the vet for yearly checkups. The vet charges $55 per dog plus extra for blood tests and fecal samples; all things that I think are costly and unnecessary.
Well, it's time for me to buy more Nexgard, but of course the vet won't give me a prescription unless I bring them in for 5 minutes and pay her another $200 for an "examination" where she pets them and speaks baby talk to them. I do that kind of examination 20 times a day...
I'm telling you guys, it feels like extortion. There is nothing wrong with my dogs. Just let me pay you for the dang medicine and go.
And the vet charges almost double what you can pay for the medicine if you order it online. But, of course, they don't tell you that every year when they are charging you $200 for examinations, unnecessary tests, and another $200 for the medicine.
I see that there are websites in Australia that will ship nexgard to me for 1/3 the price of the vet and no prescription needed.
My only question is, "Have any of you used an online source to buy pet meds without a prescription? Are there any websites you would recommend? "
Thanks!
