There is literally zero standards , law , rules , inspections ......nothing for pet products. That includes prescriptions. Unless someone sues and shows damage they basically sell you what they want. I know...my wife is fanatical anout that kind of stuff. Even some of those clear and tick chews the vet prescribes can fuck your pet up...it's why we still use the drops on their backs.

Yup....my wife came home with some script for my dog when he was licking. I researched it and instantly threw it away. It was basically chemo to stop an allergy. Its fucking insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated putting it on her because you know that you are basically poisoning you pet. We are fortunate that we haven't seen any ticks since moving to northern Vermont and haven't used it since our 1st summer here. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of poisoning your dog...we had to get the one rabies shot so we could cross the border on our trip to MN... well they give the dog the same amount whether hes a lb or 130 lbs....first he was sore as fuck from the needle....then while we were down there the bloody diarrhea came...wasnt a surprise as he had it when he got his 1st shot when he was a pup...so stupid the law requires this.

Sounds like living in NY or Cali I don't think they do, but if you take your pet to the vet they want the records for the last rabies shot or they will require you to come back one year later for a booster. Our vet in NH sent the records over to the new vet in VT so Izzy didn't have to have a booster shot a year later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had two dogs go into shock over the Lepto part of the "anual shots" and lost one due to an unknown cause the day after annual shots. After that, I started doing research on these "recommended" or "required" vaccinations. What I got was: all bullshit. Rabies is legit but not needed every year. Annuals are a money grab. Since then (15 years ago) I stopped doing it all together after the initial vaccinations and refuse them when at the vet for another reason. They look at me like I'm insane. I just look back and grin. I read a nice article out of the UK about the BS selling of annual vacines to pets. Yup...bullshit. Guess what country leads the way in this sales hype..YUP!!! 'Murica. I've since had no problems and my dogs/cats live way past their estimated life span. Nobody will ever convince me different about the benefits "yearly vaccinations". Oh, I havent had a flu shot since I left the military. NO FLU!! WEIRD!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using the Soresto collars for the past 2 years, my cat would have side effects from Frontline after I would put it on him,..for 3 weeks he would walk around like he stepped in water shaking his paws.. I have been completely satisfied with the Soresto collars, zero issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
