The cost of the meds is approximately 25% compared to what we pay here in Australia.funkigreendoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04827717241180904200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-29534946097356882282013-01-08T18:02:17.419-05:002013-01-08T18:02:17.419-05:00Actually, we've ordered from them a couple of ...Actually, we've ordered from them a couple of times.

Actually, there was a typo, the one who takes it now is 16 lbs. The other girl, who we just helped cross the Rainbow Bridge was 18lbs. The US vetmedin site shows 2.50mg chewable tablets. I'm sure you know, this drug was available in Canada before it was here in the US. We also used to go across the border to Canada to get our 1 dog gabapentin from a pharmacy in Ontario-until recently it was much cheaper. I had to use a Canadian vet though. Had a terrific one in St. Catherines. Wish we were in NS now but are awaiting a litter of puppies due this weekend. Cycle of life: our beloved old girl dies and new ones enter our lives. By the way, my DH's family fled to NS during the Rev War-settled in Digby. Beeman's Mountain was named for them. If we ever sell this house and can f/t we'll be there!

Just a ripoff in my mind.<br /><br />Contessa: Remind me again why anyone lives in Canada?<br /><br />Chris: Yes, thank you, she is!<br /><br />Anonymous Lynn: Thanks for the link to petmedsandmore, I hadn't come across that one. So the 5mg meds are in tablet form? Because the 2.5mg ones are in capsule form and I don't think it would be easy to split them. Interesting that Whiskey is just over 20 lbs and that her dosage is twice what your dog gets. I've checked the Vetmedin website, and Whiskey's recommended dosage is bang on. I wonder why yours is lower.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-47685164905410297212011-05-23T00:25:41.659-04:002011-05-23T00:25:41.659-04:00I've been following your travels in NS (a plac...I've been following your travels in NS (a place we home to visit some day) & have been concerned about your dog because I have Cavaliers who have the same type of cardiac issues. Glad he's on vetmedin - it's a wonderful drug and does extend life. I get mine from www.petmedsnmore.com. It was the cheapest source. My dog weighs 18 lbs. Her dose is 1.25mg 2x/day. To save $$, vet Rx's the 5mg tablets and I cut them in 1/4 using a pill splitter so each 5mg tablet gives 2 days of meds. I call the order in on the 800 # - staff are wonderfully helpful and kind. Takes about 3 days for meds to reach me in Buffalo NY. And I will stop being Anon when I have a chance to sign up properly.

Sometimes I save 80%. We now even buy our vet only prescribed dog food in the USA for 50% less than we would pay here. We buy 6 months worth going down to Mexico and another 6 months as we head north. It is the only way to go! One place we buy from requires your vets name & telephone number and they do call check with the vet. Fortunately our vet is good with it all.Contessahttp://www.contessajewall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-28566236949660833012011-05-22T10:51:13.208-04:002011-05-22T10:51:13.208-04:00The header is such a cute picture of Whiskey..
