You might want to do a search for reviews of the online site before getting Rx's from them. We use Sentinel [heartworm preventative and insect growth inhibitor combo]. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-04-15T15:50:52.000Z we use drsfostersmith.com - if you order a catalogue, you get a discount code for your first order. ## okiron · 2008-04-15T18:40:07.000Z petmeds.com here. ## scarlet · 2008-04-15T20:11:25.000Z Thanks for all the info.  drsfostersmith.com is cheaper than 1800petmeds where I've purchased.  Even if they just save me $5, I'm swapping companies!  That $5 will buy The Jake Man a new toy! ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-04-16T00:54:29.000Z they have a free ground shipping promo too on their website, i used it for our frontlines this month ## okiron · 2008-04-16T13:24:27.000Z Jennifer for some reason I read "they have a free ground shipping porno. I'm like...o.O that's something that can be whispered isn't it???? LMAO ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-04-16T13:33:20.000Z niiiiiiiiice okiron. i re-read your post and i actually giggled. i just LOVE to freely tell complete strangers how i get MY porno from drsfostersmith.com. its probably a much more lucrative business than silly pet supplies. maybe we should email them. ## okiron · 2008-04-16T13:35:10.000Z Frontline staring Jenna Jameson. It would work lmao. ## tsukitsune (moderator) · 2008-04-16T13:44:17.000Z she's the only porn star name i know, otherwise i would retort with another funny one. ## okiron · 2008-04-18T15:15:55.000Z Ok, petmed and drfostersmith has free shipping for Revolution. Brandon hows the s/h for petshed and petvetdirect? ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-04-18T15:29:59.000Z I'm a bit OCD, so I made a spreadsheet, listed the site and the price, so that I could do a full comparison.  I may switch over to sentinel after we go to the vet - I've got a lot of friends that the heartworm/flea/tick preventor is working really well for them.  The next step will be finding out which one my vet works with, because apparently there are some that she doesn't.  These were the sites that I found: 1800petmed.com - tends to be the highest drsfostersmith.com healthypets.com medi-vet.com nextdaypets.com omahavaccine.com - one of the least expensive for heartgard plus and sentinel petcarerx.com petmed.com petrx.com petshed.com vetmeddirect.com - one of the least expensive for heartgard plus and sentinel entirelypets.com - one of the least expensive for heartgard plus and sentinel ## okiron · 2008-04-18T15:39:01.000Z LJ are the prices still cheaper with s/h included or are the prices before s/h? ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-04-18T15:47:56.000Z cheaper for the most part - I'll go back to each of those sites and double-check, tough.  Most of them had the order a certain $ and get free shipping, as little as $35 USD to $75 USD.  If you're ordering a 6 mth suppply of frontline and heartgard or just a 6 mth supply of sentinel - you're going to be at/over $50 USD ## okiron · 2008-04-18T16:01:35.000Z Lol oh yeah. The minimum I'd ever buy is about $100+ ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-04-18T16:14:36.000Z Shipping Costs: 1800petmed.com - over $39 Free drsfostersmith.com - free ground on meds & prescriptions healthypets.com - ground $4.95 medi-vet.com - over $100 free nextdaypets.com - over $100 free omahavaccine.com - ground $5.95 petcarerx.com - over $35 free petmed.com - location specific on costs of shipping petrx.com - over $99 free petshed.com - didn't list shipping easily, had to create acct, didn't bother vetmeddirect.com - didn't list shipping easily, had to create acct, didn't bother entirelypets.com - over $100 free ## okiron · 2008-04-18T17:05:56.000Z petshed.com - 1 item only - $5.00 Each additional item is $1.00 per item extra (Found their FAQ) After s/h entirelypets.com would be cheapest for me but petshed.com would only be a dollar more lol. (Compared 6 months supply of feline Revolution) ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-04-18T17:28:25.000Z I know - it really comes down to what item you are looking for, which is why I made the spreadsheet.  After hearing so many success stories on sentinel for our area and the variety of dogs it worked on, I truly think I'm going to check it out.  It's less expensive than Frontline Plus and Heartgard Plus put together, so that's a good thing.  Anybody got good or bad comments on Sentinel with Shibas? ## scarlet · 2008-04-18T20:28:27.000Z Wow!  Thanks LJ for all the research.  Saved us all time and money... ## ljowen123 (moderator) · 2008-04-18T21:36:53.000Z No prob!  Someone should benefit from my OCDness! --- **Navigate:** [Forum home](https://nihonken.org/community/?format=md) · [Sitemap](https://nihonken.org/community/sitemap.xml)
