Hello I am new to posting on newsgroups; I am wondering if anyone can
help me find a good online pet store that will ship frontline for cats
to the UK.
I have frankly had it with my vet and paying her the equivalent of $40
every 2 months just for her to walk in give me a smile and quick
thumbs up after having just barely glanced at my cat, I swear the
receptionist knows more than this woman.
So having even confronted her with the absurdity of paying her for the
privilege of buying frontline from her she recommended I may want to
try and find a method more suitable to me....if I could that is.
I figure while I am at it can anyone also tell me why this is still
prescription only from the vets in the UK when it is widely used as an
over the counter product in the USA, surely the first time it is used
maybe it would be a good idea having the vet (or her receptionist
around :-) after which really there should be no need for them if
kitty has shown no ill effects to the product.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks for reading.

I'm also in the UK, My cat has to have seen by the vet in the last 6 months
before you can buy Frontline. I buy the small spay bottle for around ?20,
(it's been a while since I bought any). I just use a few squirts every
couple of months. I find you don't need to coat the animals entire fur in it
(as per the instructions) for it to be effective.

Thanks to everyone who replied, Kim I would love to take you up on
your offer I am based North West but then I would really rather not
feel to impose on you.. Besides I think a more permanent solution as a
few others have suggested is in order.
I know of only two other people who keep pets, one he likes fish and
the other well she just loves parrots and in fact it was her who
recommended my current vet... besides being only a few minutes from
where I live she also happens to be a very kooky ol' lady was what she
said.
Kooky or not I know now that this vet is pretty much robbing me blind,
I actually really do not mind the cost at all any amount is worth
spending on kitty it is really just HER (the vet's) attitude towards
this racket (think that word about sums up what is going on here) she
knows I guess that she can get away with pretty much doing this.

I have started looking into finding another vet even though most are
based fairly far away, as for the person who mailed me this website
http://www.pets-megastore.com.au ......thank you it looks very
promising as they even mention that Customs would not be a problem as
long as any Frontline order was relatively small in amount.
