Purchase Heart Worm Preventative Without a Vet Prescription

Submitted by: anonymous  02/23/2009 8:36 PM
 
I purchase my Heartguard plus from an Australian web site, pets-megastore. World-wide Shipping is free with over $100 purchase, otherwise it's only $6.50 (Australian dollars) to ship to the U.S.

Be careful not to administer heartworm medicine unless your pet has been using it consistently. You can seriously harm your pet if you give heartworm preventative if they already have heartworms.

Just be careful - my vet warned me about these places and you're not always getting the product they're marketing to you.

I'm with Melissa. At best, you're getting an ineffective product. At worst, you're getting something dangerous. I mentioned these to both my past and current vet, and they told me the same thing. Be very, very careful. Would you purchase *your* prescription drugs from a foreign website?

I've ordered from pet-megastore for years and have always been pleased. They're a reputable company. I'm happy to order my canine babie's meds from them!

Sounds good bUT be warned..you must be sure the pet does not already have the worm. A blood test by a vet is only way to be sure...Otherwise the medicine will kill the pet.

BUT if you already know the pet is clear then this is a good way to save money.
