Dog Worming tablets

mattock

Can dog wormers like Milbemax or Drontal be bought over the net or anywhere else as vets in this country are ripping us off big time, these tablets are approx €7.50 per tab here and I do believe they are bought for less than a euro by the vets which = major rip off.

drontal tabs......
for small dogs,sure tabs for larger dogs are dearer

Yup I've bought wormer and flea treatments online on petmeds.co.uk paid approximately £20 for 1 year of wormer and 6 months of flea treatment for two small dogs.

Good fast service. Always get free postage because I order arthritis tablets at the same time.

Is it legal to get these delivered from outside Ireland? Our local pharmacy that was a bit more reasonable than the vet can no longer sell them as a vet has to be on the premises at all times due to EU legislation :rolleyes:

I get drontal tabs from a farm supply shop for about €2 (iirc) I usually just get them when I'm in for horse wormer.

€7.50 is a very high price to pay for wormer, have you tried any other vet practices in your area?

www.medicanimal.com sell a wide range of veterinary wormers. You will need to get a prescription from your vet (they are obliged to do this - you don't need to buy all veterinary medications a the vet practice, and they should give you a prescription if you don't) but they are available. As far as I can remember, Drontal is not a prescription wormer (the duo version is though) so you may be able to get this without visiting your vet first. Most pharmacies will not sell wormer without a prescription so if you wanted to get it in one you will need one from your vet.

Still think they are well over priced, and I spoke to a guy in the Que who said they are well over priced.
