Patterdale67 0 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 If you don't want to pay vets prices, you can buy your wormers from a pharmacist. They are licenced to sell veterinary drugs of the POM-VPS catergory (which wormers fall into). If you have a friendly local pharmacist, you may be lucky enough to get them cost price if you buy in bulk. Hope this helps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
