[NAGDU] Experiences Buying Flea and Heartworm Meds On Line

[The Pawpower Pack]

I also use petshed and it takes about 2 weeks for the mets to arrive. I've used them for about 10 years now and I have not had any problems. I have 3 dogs plus do fostering/dog rehab so I'm always looking for ways to cut costs without cutting quality and I love petshed!
