I personaly think like anything else its a money grab by vets as they won't give it to you unless you have had your yearly exam, then after that (like I did 5 days ago) you just walk in and say I want a 6 pack and my dog weighs 40lbs. they try to up sell you to the fancy stuff that treats flees, and ticks, but only two types of worms instead of the 4 that interceptor does.. you say no then they go in the back and come out with it. no vet involved, just a check to make sure I was in with in the last 12 months.

I know from when I used to live at home you can get horse and cattle meds and administer them yourself with out seeing a vet, we used to do all the needles for our cows and horses ourselves.. and when I was seeing a girl that bread cats we used to give them there shots also.. maybe there is a place you can get that for dogs also?

I had a patient who is a vet last year and we spoke about it several times while I was treating her. After discussing the use in reef aquariums she came in for an appointment with a couple pills for me.
