That's disgusting  >:( No wonder people think they can't afford 'proper' stuff from the vets.  Has she opened it mark?  She could take it back saying that she didn't realise her son was going to get it for her, then she'll have an extra £32 to put towards your Xmas pressie  :evillaugh:

Maybe I could order her one and she can take it back to the vet for a refund?  :evillaugh:

What a rip off!  I'd expect them to charge a bit more than vetuk due to increased overheads, but that's taking the  :censored:

She rang today to say it arrived. She asked if they sold Frontline as well - I told her yes and to check it wasn't the combi. She said she doesn't need it now but for in the future as she got it this week and it was £47.00 for a 6 pack  :Crazy: - she was sick when I told her £15.23 from VetUK plus a donation came out of that as well  :(
She isn't destitute but not rich either - far from it  :(

£36!  What a rip off - mine was £11.99 from Vets UK but I checked a few website and didn't see it priced at more than £15/£16 anywhere.

You know what Mark i'd print off the vet uk page with the feliway products and prices on it and tell your mum to take it and present it to her vet, or post an annonymous letter with it saying compare to their own prices.  Its expected for them to be more expensive but not by that much  >:(

Exactly, there is a gas showroom next door and they sell those cookers like we had in the 70's with eye level grill etc. Only old people shop there and pay through the nose for it.

OMG that's extortionate! Our vets are pricey too, compared to VetUK, but they are not that bad! :shocked:

£36 for the plug-in  :Crazy:
£22 for a refill  :Crazy:

I told her VetUK prices and she wants me to order it for for (via a link  ;D )
She realised that the spray is better for her anyway  ;D
