Buying flea/tick spot on online

    My local pharmacy no longer stocks flea/tick spot ons for cats and I'm nearly 40 miles from a vet, so am considering buying online. I usually use Frontline or its generic equivalent. I can't find anywhere that will ship this to Ireland. I tried Amazon.co.uk but they won't even ship Frontline to my Parcel Wizard address in Northern Ireland. They will ship Beaphar Fiprotec to NI.


    Has anyone used parcel wizard or motel to buy spot-ons successfully? I'm a bit concerned that they package might be stopped. Or is there anywhere in Ireland where I can buy this online?

    You could try Viovet, I buy from them with Parcel Motel but what will happen after Brexit.............? It's anybody's guess.

    My local SuperValu sells flea/tick spot on, maybe try there first or local pet shop.

    Thanks janmaree, I'll have a look. Our local Supervalu is tiny and don't stock any. They even run out of cat litter for weeks on end.

    I'm concerned about Brexit too, especially about how it might delay shipments from Zooplus, which seem to be routed through the UK, but that is probably a topic for another thread.

    You could also use addresspal with the U.K. address
