[NAGDU] Experiences Buying Flea and Heartworm Meds On Line

[Jordan Gallacher]

How long did it take for you to receive the meds?  I usually use Petco and
can get things within a few days usually.

Hi there.
I buy my heartworm meds from petshed.com They are based in Australia, so,
you do not need a prescription. Also, the cost is extremely reasonable. I
did not have a problem using their website with my iPhone.

California law or a new GDA policy.

which won't be for a thousand years or so I hope.  <grin>.
