    Has anyone here bought Advocate online? Is there any saving to be made. My dog is due a dose, I need 4 pipettes.

    Last time I purchased them off the vet, they were around €17 each.

    Thanks

    Hi, I don't think you can buy advocate online without the prescription of a vet. It was cheaper the last time I checked it but as I said you need a prescription of your vet and I don't know if they have to give you one or if they can say no we don't do this.

    Oh I didn't know that.
    I thought it was just a normal yearly thing, like the booster injection. I'll get her to the vet soon and see what they say.
    Thanks

    OP is your dog actually at risk of fleas/worms or had them before? I don't treat either of my dogs - my younger girl who's 2 has never had a spot on treatment and only had her initial worm dosages as a puppy. Both get worm counts done and they've always been clear.

    I remember the vet telling me that my dog might be at risk of ring worm because she occasionally eats the poo:eek: of wild animals, this happens when I'm walking her in the local woods.

    That was a couple of years ago and she hasn't quite grown out of that habit.
