A lot of friends often ask me when it’s OK to save a little cash and when they should pay full price for items. My advice is always the same and most likely forever will be. When it comes to pet meds – there is no replacement for diagnosing what your pet needs other than a vet. Your vet is everything when it comes to telling you what you need. When it comes to actually obtaining the medicine usually you’ll be better off buying the first dose from your vet so you get it immediately, and then look for an online wholesaler for the rest. This may not seem like you’re going to end up saving a lot of money but certainly over time with buying several meds and supplies, this could easily save you a few hundred or even a few thousand dollars a year. Don’t even get me started if you have several pets!
Medicines should definitely be looked at differently than supplies such as a bed or kennel cab. When it comes to medicine try to find a reliable shipper and then stay with them. Long-term it’s best to know that you’re buying from someone reliable and that the medicine is not expired, or a generic that’s not regulated properly. If you’re able to find a good supplier for these items, stay with them! It will be the best in the long run for you when it comes to reliability and also financially. We’re launching our price comparison experience very soon, and will allow customers to leave feedback on specific merchants. This way it’ll help you find a reliable shipper a lot faster than trial and error. Try to have a good holiday, and check back in January for a lot more information about your pets!
