size=2 face=Arial>And I could go on ... but the facts are the same .. it can
happen whether there is "face time" or not, whether the Vet, some service the
Vet has investigated and feels relatively sure/trusting of ... or not. The
simple fact is, there can be good places on the net to get meds from, it only
robs Vets that don't have good alternatives ... and in the days where people are
barely making it, a Veterinarian that refuses to help their clients save .. is
going to loose a client.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>I perfer to work with human pharamcies when we can actually use human meds
as they are trustworthy, safe places to get meds. Having said that they
have sent home the wrong insulin before and the dog almost died. PetMeds
and those places scare me more as they are not held to the same standards.
There have been issues with medications that weren't brand name (Iverhart) being
recalled for problems. They have sold the wrong or expired medications
before as well.</DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
