I see advertisements that tell me I can buy my pets drugs cheaper on the Internet, why should I purchase from my veterinarian?
Often times the medications being sold over the Internet are manufactured for use outside of the United States, as the quality 
control standards are of a lower requirement than those required in the United States. Dispensing medications to your pet with out a proper examination and sometimes necessary testing can prove to be fatal to the animal. Many drug manufacturers guarantee their products and effectiveness only if purchased from your pets veterinarian. For example, if your pet contracts heart worm disease and is being treated with medications purchased through a licensed veterinarian, the drug manufacturer will reimburse the pet owner for any veterinary bills. Lastly, if you consider hidden fees such as shipping, handling and insurance, the cost of medications are very similar to what you would pay buying directly from your veterinarian.
