Is there any real difference between.....?

G'day Tenko...

I might weigh in here from the vet point of view. There can be a difference in the products - but not always. With the wormer you need to make sure that you are purchasing an all wormer for your dog. Often supermarket or pet shop wormers are only aimed at a few varieties of worms. We used to stock the Bob Martin products but found that there were much better products available in the same price range. Ask your vet - often vets will have a few different kinds of worm tablets - I know we do! Some are less expensive than others.

With the flea stuff again you need to be careful - read the instructions carefully - make sure you have exactly the right one for your dog or cat - don't put dog products on cats! We have had cats die from this. Also dont put a flea treament for a 40kg dog on a 5kg dog - you would think this is obvious but if you could see the stuff I have seen! Insert me rolling my eyes here!!!!

Often the reason the vet prices are higher is that you are also paying for some advice and the knowledge that you have the right product that will be safe for your pet. After all what is $5 when it comes to the safety of a furry family member?

Good luck!

When I first got my dog and I didn't know much better, I did try the Hartz and BioSpot. I quickly found that it did not work well if at all. Now I would only use a vet recommended product. What I do try to do is wait until my local pet store has a sale...they have this 2x a year "madness" sale, and sell everything at 30% off...then I stock up on a 6 month supply of flea med...it does save money without compromising the effectiveness of the product I buy.

If you don't go to a vet (recommended as you can weigh your dog and know he'll prescribe something that works), yes, I'm with Lorraine - if you are in the UK, Hyperdrug is the online canine chemist I use, for good reliable wormers.

Add- You are right £140 for worming two dogs is crazy money. Find another vet!! Worming mine has been the least of my recent expenditure - a fraction of that figure.

Penny stocks are loosely categorized companies with share prices of below $5 and with market caps of under $200 million. They are sometimes referred to as "the slot machines of the equity market" because of the money involved. There may be a good place for penny stocks in the portfolio of an experienced, advanced investor, however, if you follow this guide you will learn the most efficient strategies https://tr.im/fb19f

Please don't use that rubbish on them.

Yes the ingredients are very different and a lot of dogs get very ill on that OTC stuff.

Go to http://www.hyperdrug.co.uk/default.asp and get your stuff through someone like this.

I never usually bother with flea treatments anyway - especially this time of the year, and I only worm once a year and have never in my life seen worms.

ALL OTC stuff is useless CRAP!
