BEWARE 1800petmeds.com!

The following was copied and pasted from an email I sent to my lovely Aunt Amanda. I wanted to pass along the information to as many people as possible because I am sure there are plenty of others out there that love their pets as much as I do and do not want to get screwed-over by this place!
************

On TV you see that 1800petmeds advertised...DO NOT BUY STUFF FROM THERE!!!!!! I just ordered my dogs pills through there and when you place an order they fax your vet for them to sign off that it is okay for your dogs to have what you are ordering. Well, Saturday morning Missy's vet called me and told me all kinds of stuff about them!! BAD STUFF. Apparently their prices are not as good as what they say... (My vet saved me almost $30 on both Missy and Peanut's pills), plus he told me that they have been into some trouble with forging vet's signatures and some other unethical stuff. Plus what they were recommending for my dogs was SO WRONG!!! There are 3 types of worms dogs can get, and the pills they were selling me were only treated 1 kind...the most common...heart worms. If you buy the pills directly from the vet's office you can get a rebate on them, plus if your dog would happen to still get any kind of worms that the medicine treats, the manufacturer will pay the cost of treatment. If you buy from an online pharmacy, there is not guarantee. I was so shocked that the vet called me from his house on a Saturday morning when he didn't even have office hours. Peanut goes to a different vet, but we were planning to switch him to this other guy, Dr. Hargarten, when it was time for him to go back in for his yearly shots because the girls that work in the office at his vet are so rude and just act like they don't even like animals! When we got Missy we started her with Dr. Hargarten because we had to get her fixed within just a couple of weeks after getting her because she came from the shelter. I decided that I liked the doctor and the people in the office well enough that I didn't care if they were more expensive I was going to go ahead and switch Peanut. Now I can't wait to switch him!!! (Hopefully he won't BITE this guy...he really didn't like the doctor that he saw at the Animal Care Clinic!!)

Anyway, I hope all that makes sense!! Just a heads up!!

Peanut chillin' on my in my office.

She's too cute to yell at sometimes!
Peanut doesn't let anything get by that window!
