Stop Paying Too Much For Pet Medications

28 11:21:44
I couldn't believe the price. It hadn't been the first time I'd been prescribed antibiotics but when I saw the number come up on the cash register I almost fainted. The medication was for our cat and the cost was over three times as much as it would have been for human consumption. When I asked the receptionist, she just shrugged and I left feeling like instead of a trip to the vet I'd just been taken to the cleaners.

Two days later I recalled the story to one of my neighbors. He told me that the thyroid medication his vet had prescribed for his dog was running him over $120 each month and now he faced the unthinkable of having to give up his 6 year-old Black Lab, Ginger because the cost was more than his budget could accommodate. He agreed with me that there had to be a better solution than the one our vets had given us and after a bit of research, I discovered that there indeed was.

Instead of buying medications from my vet, I began to order them from online pet pharmacy 1-800-PetMeds.com. A quick peek at their site was all it took for me to see that I was paying far too much for the same products I could get online at a considerable discount. It was apparent 1-800-PetMeds carried all the exact same major Dog, Cat, and Horse medications and supplements and they even contacted my vet on my behalf to confirm my prescription.

What really sealed the deal for me was also seeing how much cheaper 1-800-PetMeds' prices were on flea & tick preventatives like Frontline, Sentinel, Advantage and K9 Advantix and other meds like Heartguard and Cosequin. The one time I did find the same product cheaper somewhere else, 1-800PetMeds matched the price without a hassle. And to make the deal even sweeter, I even used an online 1800PetMeds.com coupon code-"WEEK"-that saved me an additional 10% off my order.

Like many pet owners, I consider my beloved animals to be a part of my family and I do everything I can to take care of them the best I can but I also understand that in these troubled times it's wise to keep a close eye on every dollar spent. That's why I use 1-800-PetMeds for all of my pet medication needs. They have all major brands in stock, offer quick service and all with free shipping on any order over $39 and fast delivery right to my door. And so you always get the biggest savings, make sure you use 1-800-PetMeds 10% off coupon code "WEEK". It's a discount you can use for both online and phone orders at 1-800-Pet-Meds (1-800-738-6337).
