For Frontline products, I generally get them through Entirely Pets which you can access through the Internet and use their 800 number. I get my Heartgard Plus from Entirely Pets as well. The only medications I get from the vet are what is required for whatever treatment is required. I know what you mean because I am on the replacement list myself and want to keep my retired dog as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Sincerely, <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Tracey Frost and Coral <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Njagdu [<a href="mailto:njagdu-bounces@nfbnet.org">mailto:njagdu-bounces@nfbnet.org</a>] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Tracy Carcione via Njagdu<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, February 19, 2016 10:24 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'New Jersey Association of Guide Dog Users' <<a href="mailto:njagdu@nfbnet.org">njagdu@nfbnet.org</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> Tracy Carcione <<a href="mailto:carcione@access.net">carcione@access.net</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> [Njagdu] Vet costs<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I took my retired guide to the vet yesterday for his annual checkup, rabies vaccine, etc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I paid $950 for the checkup, vaccines, a year’s worth of Heartguard and Nexguard, plus a year of Nexguard for my current guide.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I was a bit schocked.
