People should not take those tablets, they are for animals only.

Its the same for Indorex household flea spray vets in Liscard charged me £19 I now get it for £8 from Animed. I also complained and got the difference refunded. I don't mind paying a little over the odds but then there is taking the piss.

Animed has always given really quick free delivery and been very helpful if you need to ring or e-mail them. I get all flea, worming etc from them.

just an update, the vets practice have reneged on their promise to refund my money, apparently though because i had been over charged they will give me half my money back.. i have had to accept this , and obviously not happy about it. i have informed them i will no longer take my 3 dogs and those that i foster/ mind to broadway vets again

i have since found the exact same worming powder online, at animed direct, the cost for 15 sachets is £21.30 inc vat, with free delivery.
i have complained to the vets , and they say if i order the sachets and take it to them, they will refund my £87.55.
i will not name the practice as they are refunding my money.

The vet seems to be seeing pound signs in making money and not having the best interest in your pet.Believe me its a fact.I have had this experience of this in the past..One of my cats had a ear infection and it really cost me a fortune.maybe look for another vet.Bob martins flea and worm treatment has been okay to use on my pets had np problems at all.

I was at the vets last week with my boxer, he's got suspected arthritis. I'd already paid for a small bottle of Loxicom, to see how is was for a week. As he improved slightly they said keep him on it for good. Cost of a 100ml bottle from the vet £54, i'd already checked the cost only £15. So i told the vet this and that I need a prescription, so he just said he'll charge me £12.50 for the prescription then and I can keep getting them and paying the £12.50 when it runs out (around monthly)

Luckily, I managed to con the internet pharmacy into selling me 3 bottles.

I told the vets, I don't mind paying a higher price for the medicine from them, but the difference from £54 to £15 is ridiculous...

I recently had to have my dog put down so if anyone needs caninsulin for diabetic dogs please get in touch- I don't want to give it to vets because of their charges. Also have Vivitonin tabs, would like to see proof of need if possible.
