I am afraid to buy the Frontline and Heartgard from the internet because I saw a program on Dateline about all of the counterfeit drugs out there for people. The packaging and pills, etc. look exactly like the real thing. I told the receptionist at my vet about my concerns and she said the flea product company will only guarantee the product if it was bought at the vet. She said there was alot of counterfeit pet supplies too. So, I didn't want to spend less money and then have it actually be a placebo. But, since Frontline is so expensive and I have three animals to treat, I bought some over the counter Hartz flea product at the pet store. There was a comparison list of several brands of flea products and it said that this Hartz product did everything that the Frontline Plus did so I decided to give it a try. I just put it on them the other day so, I don't know how well it is going to work. Plus, it's the time of year when we have less fleas, so I might not know for sure until next summer. It was only around $10 per animal compared to the $50 per animal I was paying at the vet.
