even going to 1800pet meds, you'd pay 6 dollars more ... and get 12
pills.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=763493023-08032011>At the very least, that
would help you cover 4 hounds for the price of 2. Lets look at where that
money *could* go if you were getting your vet to come down on their offered
price ... </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=763493023-08032011>My vet's standard office
visit? 35 bucks ... I could take my hounds in 2 times a year or as needed
with the savings from this type of price gouge. And Lets be honest.. maybe
the vetman does pay more for their stash of this med ... then *THEY* should be
using such pricing tactics with their suppliers.. "my clients are buying at
800petmeds at half the price you charge me for the same med ... you (my
supplier) need to come down on your price or I'm not going to get this med from
you any more"</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=763493023-08032011>Its up to us as the
clients to tell the doctor.. I can't do this .. I can't afford your price for
this service ... it will come to the point that either you help me, by being
competitive on this med ... or I find someone else for this purpose.

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=763493023-08032011>Even if I paid a 35
dollar office visit, and got the script to buy anywhere else .. that's still 125
for 12 tabs.. compared with the 170 that your vet gets ... for just
ONE hound for one year. If I was still making my 60+k per year, that could
work.. but I'm not, and therefore have to take that cost savings.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=763493023-08032011>If your vet is not
competitive .... tell them they need to be, and they need to be very open about
this. The lies of quality, and efficacy of drugs online or mail order
should no longer be tolerated. I'm all for helping my Vet maintain their
practice but can't afford to sustain them at double the cost. Even my own
vet, they would match 1800petmed's price, but they'd charge a 9 dollar handling
fee as if there were still shipping charges from these online stores.. at least
they are getting close, rather than nearly double an online outlet.</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>I always pay for all my perscripton meds from the vet, no break here,
the only thing I get free are the syringes for Maggies allergy injections.
I just spent $ 83.00 for 6 heartworm pills for two Bassets so multiply
that by 4 times a year I keep them on heartworm all year
round</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
