    Hi
    So, since the middle of this year i now have 2 dogs which has obviously increased costs (not that i mind that, i'd pay whatever costs needed to keep them safe and healthy!)

    I was looking into buying in bulk for flea and worm treatment for the year ahead but not sure where is the best value.

    Been looking on petstop website and it would work out around 100euro for a year supply of both which isn't too bad but just wondering if anyone can suggest somewhere that might be a bit cheaper?

    Another question in regards to the flea treatment:
    Both my dogs are small, around 8kg each - the flea treatment for a dog up to 15kg works out better value than 2 x smaller dog treatments - can a flea treatment pipette be split between them??

    Also, i know people don't flea or worm their dogs and will say that they've never had any issues and that's fine for you but i do want to flea and worm them so only looking for suggestions on where to buy!

    I don't flea/worm as I've never had the need to so I don't have a clue on brands etc.. BUT I would maybe try..
    - your vet if they have a pet plan - I have friends who use their vet's pet plan and make a saving
    - Amazon.de
    - For vetuk etc - I think you'd be cutting it fine now to get them before xmas and Brexit kicking in? :(

    My vet does do a pet plan but it's 15euro a month - i already pay out 45euro a month for them both for insurance so another 30euro a month is a bit much!

    I'll try amazon.de - never thought of amazon!

    Vetuk weren't actually working out much cheaper if at all to petstop - i've often bought from them - never thought of that with brexit though :(

    I've used amazon.de a few times now for stuff for Bailey - delivery is only a few days. I'm ADDICTED to amazon.co.uk so not happy about Brexit - I had 3 deliveries today from them and another 2 due tomorrow :p
