Buying Supplements/Aftercare Products
by BigNick8 Mon Dec 17 2012, 12:47
Hi,
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere on the forum, I did have a look around and couldn't see anything.....
Likewise, if I have posted it in the wrong board, one of Admin/Mods please feel free to move it.
Does anyone have a specific place (online, retail pet store, dog specific treatment store etc) where they buy supplementary and aftercare products for their dog?
I use my local vets in the main, but to be honest they are very pricy; and if I am to put Ella on supplements for life after her recent operation, I just wondered what others do in this situation?
I'm aware that the vet knows best, but if you can get the exact same product for a better price then I (and I'm sure most everyone else) is all for it
Obviously, I'd check, re-check and double check the source and ingredients of such a product, but am just wondering if others just buy from the vets or if there is a 'recommended' place to buy from?
Thanks in advance,
Nick

I use Simply Supplements for supplements for myself and for Zeus:
http://www.simplysupplements.net/category/35/simplypets™/
Prices are decent, the delivery times are quick and the best thing about it is that everything is Buy One Get One Free. I do however sometimes shop around for supplements and tend to find that eBay has the cheapest.

Do you have any insurance for Ella ?? Would this cover the cost of the supplements for you ??
We dont really have a specific place to get things from but just for look at value for money wherever we happen to get anything from.

Yes I do have insurance for Ella, not sure if supplementary aftercare products are covered or not.I'll have to read the small print..........

Just shop around, most of the products the vet supplies (other than medicines, of course) can be bought cheaper elsewhere.
Keep a look out for the special offers at Holland & Barrett, for example. Sometimes they do things like buy one, get another for a penny.
Chemist direct is a good online site for bits and pieces as well...
