Please, before we start to slam veterinarians for obeying Pharmaceutical laws and trying to make a living, realize what schooling they have, overhead they have to pay and many many other factors. Yah it may suck but they have a job to do and laws to obey. If you do have that relationship with your vet and he or she feels comfortable dispensing you Interceptor for you red bug issues consider yourself lucky as you are using the product "off-label".

And remember, Pharmaceutical laws in Canada are much different that the U.S.

yeah but interceptor is not prescription, at least thats what my vet told me. it's over the counter medication, the main problem seems to stem from the fact that the receptionist doesnt seem to relize this and is giving people precanned responses that you will have to have a consultation with a vet first ie; consultation fee. trust me when i tell you that having a lot of dogs and being an adoption rep for a dog organization that vets will try and extract the maximum amount of money from a client possible, sort of like dentists and their detrimnation to rid the world of wisdom teeth. the more reseach you can do ahead of time and bring to your vet the better off you and your animals will be.
