In the past I've got Metacam from one of the canine drug companies on the internet. It's delivered by normal post. Is this the case with Advocate/Advantix or do you have to sign for it?
Yes, its a POM but rang VM, paid with card then posted prescription to VM and as soon as they got it they sent Advocate out 1st class. Think it took 3 days from phone call to stuff arriving. Vet currently charges £5.76 for prescription. - it was £2.50 about 14mths ago.
I wanted to get previcox online as it was much cheaper and my vets quoted £15 for a prescription, and its monthly! It would still have been slightly cheaper but not enough to be worth the effort.
Been loads of previous threads on these charges - some of them are unbelievably high, I have no complaints as mine will write a prescription to include repeats for 6 months if appropriate for the same cost :-D
