Least expensive source for heartworm meds for dogs?

[Laurie4b]

I want to ask my vet for a prescription. Where is the best place (ie cheapest) to get it filled?

Check Costco (call) and Drs Foster and Smith (online). It's going to depend on your area.

Petshed. No prescription needed.

Drs. Foster and Smith. I've ordered from them many times with no problems. The generic Tri-Heart Plus is particularly inexpensive.

I don't have a membership at Costco. Is stuff from the pharmacy (I assume dog meds are a pharmacy item) available for purchase from nonmembers?

Regular pharmacy items do not require a membership (I think this is federal law-related?). I don't know about pet meds, but they will know if you call. :)

Actually, many times your vet is cheapest. Check.

 

Also, be aware that many re-sellers sell illegally imported drugs, mislabeled, misbranded, fake drugs, etc. 

 

I'd personally predict that you're unlikely to get fake drugs from a BIG retailer, but the random ones online are highly likely to not be providing what you think you are buying. 

 

I've seen the illegal drugs; I've seen the fake drugs. Some of them look really good. Others are obvious (to someone who sees the real drugs day in and day out.)
