Hi all, just wondered if there were any UK registered vets on the forum?
We have 5 dogs, and go out of our way to ensure they are well fed, cared for and looked after. We therefore need to treat them each month with Advantix 400 flea and tick treatment for extra large dogs. This cost an absolute fortune in Spain for us to purchase each month.
It can be purchased from a reputable online pet pharmacy in the UK for a third of the price, however they need a prescription and our UK vet can't write it, as she hasn't seen the dogs in the last 6 months. Our spanish vet tells me that he isn't allowed to write a private prescription (something to do with the government wanting to ensure they get as much tax as possible from controlling where the medication is purchased from).
I think therefore that our only option is to get an English registered vet in spain to write the prescription so we can fax it to the UK pharmacy and order it that way.
Any help gratefully received by us and our 5 pooches.
Regards, Carl
