Went to the vet today to buy Brevecta for my chihuahua.

The price about knocked me over, price was $90.for one pill. Talk about screwing pet owners! For those who don’t know Bravecta is for flea control for three months only. What a ripoff!

and the one for the heaviest (78 pounds of Aussie awesomeness) is $71

The cost for a bitty dog would be less … will go look

We just had to list the vet name on the order and pet meds took care of the verification. Plus they always included a free bone, a big day in Miss Molly’s life.

That is why I saved all my pets' meds. Even after they died I was able to give some to my family's dogs and save them some of the ridiculous cost.
