Since so many people call, write, even snuggle up to me to inquire about online purchases of flea/tick products, I felt compelled to write a few words on the subject.
Let's start with a few truisms. One. Since our pets are in our homes, especially the children's bedroom, we want our pets protected. Right? Right. We also want something easy that we can apply or give once-a-month. So far so good.
What's available to solve these concerns? Topical solution: Vectra. Pill: Comfortis
Both products are only sold by veterinarians. Why? Because the industry has been hijacked by malfeasance. Online pharmacies unwittingly are selling products which have become tainted or have shipping hiccups (left on a shipping dock in the sun) in order to save money for consumers.
The chemical agent in name brands: Frontline and Advantage no longer work for the whole month. Fleas have developed a resistance, so applying it two times a month defeats the purpose.
As a result, chemists developed products that the insects can't resist. Hence, new products, new marketing campaigns, new educational seminars for practitioners, and of course, higher pricing initially.
Grin and bear it. Think taxes. Exposing yourself and your family to fleas and the intestinal parasites they carry isn't worth the meager savings.
