Does anyone know where I can buy Revolution for Cats without a prescription?
Have you purchased from this site? And is there custom fees?

Revolution is prescription only - if you have a site that is offering it without a prescription, then it probably isn't the real thing.

You can't. If you are a client at a vet, and your cat has been seen within the last year, you can call and the vet will write a prescription for you although you will probably have to go and pick it up. Vets cannot write prescriptions for pets that they have never seen - it's no different than a human doctor. If you're not a client, or your cat hasn't been seen in a while, you'll need an office visit for the cat to have an exam - depending on where you live, that's going to cost between $25 and $55 for that. There should be no additional charge for the prescription. Don't assume though that it's going to be cheaper online. Revolution offers a buy 6 get one free special - at the vet only. It's actually cheaper for me to buy it at the vet than get it online.

If you already do have a vet ask the vet to call in your prescription to the online pet pharmacy you want to use. Or you could ask the vet to write out a prescription, you go over and pick it up, then you fax it to the online pharmacy. I do not see why a vet should be offended. If your cat is a client there should be no problem giving you a prescription. Prescriptions you get filled at the vet's office almost always cost a lot more than if you get it called in to a regular pharmacy (in the case of drugs used by both humans and cats) or an online one. But if you did bring the cat itself in for an exam then you would be charged the exam fee only. There is no fee for writing out a prescription for something your cat needs.

Revolution can be purchased from Canada or Australia on line. As they do not have a food and drug administration for animals and Revolution is not a proscription there. I would be cautious though buying it on line from American companies with out a prescription. Also because they do not have a FDA buying buying revolution from Australia if almost have the cost then when bought from America.

I've ordered it from Australia. It came in an IDENTICAL packaging as my empty one I purchased from my vet. I moved out of state and was broke. I figured instead of leaving my cats or surrendering them to be put to sleep was better than people thinking "you shouldn't have pets if you can't care for them bullsh*t.
Once I got the product, I used it, and it kept fleas off my cats. Australia sells this as a non prescription. That's why it can be sold-- SAME product from Phizer as sold here in the states. Its not a knock off, its was actual. You just have to be sure you're buying from a reputable online store. Luckily I have a friend who lives there that told me about well known pet store. Kind of like petsmart or petco.
Tylenol was once a prescription...

If there's a site selling Revolution without a prescription IT ISN'T REVOLUTION! There's lots of companies selling bootleg products in look-alike packaging. What's really in there are harsh pesticides that can KILL your cat. Are you really going to compromise the health of your cat just to save a few bucks? If so - you should NOT be a pet owner.

Revolution is a systemic drug and not available without a prescription. If you are looking for a flea and tick topical treatment then they are available at many retail outlets.

Buying medications from other countries is never a safe thing to do. In fact, the FDA doesn't recommend buying drugs of any kind on-line. I would go to your veterinarian and buy it. Besides, there is no Warranty on a product unless it is purchased through your veterinarian. Clearly you think it is a good medication or you wouldn't be requesting it. I am curious why you would risk wasting your money on a fake ineffective product.

I think revolution is prescription only. Even if you order it on petmeds.com it will still ask u for ur vets phone number n all to confirm that it was prescribed to ur cat.
