ferret100 47 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 30 quid is cheap mate It`s a feckin scam by vets, they insist on prescrition only ,,then charge a fortune for it,, robbing cnuts The VMD classifies Frontline Spray as a POM-V medicine, so it's not the vets that insist on prescription, it's the UK governing body for animal medicines that insist it....Vets are following the rules set for them.

Deano71 4 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I had that beaphar stuff. It did not deal with fleas like it said within days they were back. A few other people said the same thing. The frontline spray worked well. 2squirts for a month will work out cheaper in the long run two. I got it online took awhile to find it without prescription but it was there. If anyone needs the link let me know and I'll dig it out. Quote Link to post

Deano71 4 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Is that the anti parasite one stated earlier? Frontline breaks the cycle of fleas as it is absorbed in to the skin and blood stream. But as you rightly said the other deals with ear mites. Just didn't Help with fleas. And I did the correct dosage. My frontline was £15 and two spays a month will last longer. Any one else had luck with beafar? Quote Link to post
