KLEIN'S PET HEALTH TIPS
Buyer
Beware! Purchasing Products that Perform
Unfortunately
we saw another pet this week that had been treated for ear mites three
times with a product purchased at a discount store, the poor little guy
still had ear mites (and the owner was justifiably frustrated)! This situation
(usually it involves flea/tick products) has occurred frequently enough
with either discount supermarkets or products purchased on-line that we
felt the subject deserved some space here. The following are some things
many of our clients are not aware of:
The products we carry have good guarantees. For example, if your pet has
fleas, and you use 3 doses of Frontline and she still has fleas, the manufacturer
will pay for treatment and diagnostics from there. There are similar guarantees
with the other products we sell, and we help get the manufacturer on board
when there is a problem. Because of how on-line pharmacies care for the
products in their warehouses, the manufacturers do not honor the guarantee.
We assure the products we store are cared for properly so they work as
expected. On-line pharmacies buy products like Frontline "sideways" -
they find a vet who buys it from the company and then re-sells it to the
on-line pharmacy. Those products go to warehouses where they are not always
properly stored, which affects how they work. There have actually been
cases of counterfeit product getting into these warehouses.
We have
a long line of clients who have purchased flea/tick/ear mite products
while "getting the groceries" and ended up several weeks later paying
us for products that are more effective and watching their pet endure
extra time being infested. Sad but true.
Pricing
- we price all of our flea, tick, heartworm, and ear mite product equal
to 800-PET Meds. Our prices are updated monthly so that we stay competitively
priced.
From us
you can buy one dose, two doses, twelve doses - whatever meets your needs
best.
We have
tiered pricing on those products so that you save money by buying multiple
doses.
We also
pass on the company promotions to you. So for example, if you buy 6 Frontline
you get 1 free. If you buy 6 Revolution you get 1 free, if you buy 12
Heartgard, you get a $5.00 rebate.
Also, you
get 10% off during our annual Wellness Clinic!
And last
but not least, our staff all know how to use these products. Effective
treatment is partly good product and partly using the product correctly,
and our staff will help you to get your money's worth by using them so
they work best!
Let
us know any questions!
