Its good for people that might  otherwise buy Bob Martin or other dangerous stuff I think.

Would be great if the supermarket chemists would stock this also  ;)

I get it from www.petmeds.co.uk - last time I paid £15 for six, with free p&p.  Have used their site a few times now and it's excellent.

I was passing the local chemist this afternoon and they had a poster in the window for Frontline. I went in to get prices.

x 3 = £15
x 6 = £26

That's what I was paying at the vets before Frontline came off prescription - so guess they're making a good margin on that given that my vet now charges £17.95 for a pack of 6. Mind, I get it off vet UK which is even cheaper!  :evillaugh:

Only £15.49 for a sixpack online at VetUK so seems pricey to me at £26

We have an old fashioned chemists near us who have just started selling it as well. It will be so much easier to get it there than going to the vets each time, plus it is a bit cheaper. :wow:

yep, the corner chemist I pass en route to Chatham High Street also has the same poster. Not Boots or Superdrug (which always cracks me up as the name of a pharmacy) but your average family corner store chemist.

Yep. Its not a chain. Its just a regular old fashioned chemist shop where people get there bunion cream and anusol (I love that name for pile cream) :evillaugh:

It has all the original drawers with latin names etc. Would have been the chemist attached to my house when it was a doctor's surgery.

A regular human chemist, Mark?
From out of nowhere you came strong as stone
And now I'll never have to be alone
What it is I know
You have always been my safe home
