Buying Frontline Online
Email

|
A few days ago I wrote about how we got a new dog and all the new dog expenses. One of the more regular expenses will be Frontline and I couldn’t resist a little bit of rhyming. 
Frontline is a product we’ll need to buy regularly for Toby and so the best option typically will be to buy it online.
Frontline
What is Frontline? Frontline is a product that helps protect your dog or cat against external parasites like fleas and ticks. It comes in a “pipette” package and you simply apply the liquid inside directly to the skin. They recommend that you put it between the shoulder blades because then your dog or cat can’t lick it off. They claim that Frontline will kill adult fleas in 24 hours and ticks within 48 hours. Got lice? It’s supposedly effective on those guys too, stamping them out in 48 hours.
Frontline is officially classified as a NFA-VPS medicine (Non Food Animal medicine – that can be dispensed by a Veterinarian, Pharmacist, Suitably Qualified Person). These medicines need neither a clinical assessment of a pet nor a prescription.
How does it work? The active ingredient in Frontline is fipronil, a chemical that dissolves into the skin and coat of your pet. Within 24 hours it’ll disperse over your pet’s body surface and then concentrates in the skin’s oil glands. Over the course of weeks, the fipronil is secreted into the skin and hair, which protects your pet against external pests.
The animal rescue recommended that we put on Frontline every 6 weeks, rather than every month, which would make a 12 month supply last 18 months. She wasn’t too keen on the idea of using chemicals, so she spread out the regimen.
Frontline Top Spot vs. Frontline Plus: There are three versions of Frontline: Frontline Spray, Frontline Top Spot, and Frontline Plus. The Spray version is for a severe flea and tick infestation and used by vets in a clinic for a quick treatment. The Frontline Top Spot and Frontline Plus are more preventative measure applied every four weeks to provide protection against an infestation. It also kills existing infestation, but it appears to be designed to prevent. Frontline Plus includes an extra ingredient, (S)-methoprene, that kills flea eggs and larvae as well.
For now we’ll be using Frontline Plus because it only costs about a dollar more per dose.
Buying Frontline
Buying Frontline is very straight forward. All you need to know is how much your pet weighs and you can order the proper dosage online. Tobey is a stout 31 pounds and so he’ll need FRONTLINE Plus for Dogs – Blue For Pets 23-44 lbs.
Here were the prices I found online for a 12 month supply:
- PetCareRX – $166.98
- Petco – $154.99 + tax ($164.29 total, 6% MD tax)
- 1800 Pet Meds/Drugstore.com – $135.56
- Amazon.com – $135.99 + shipping (EntirelyPets)
- MAAK for Pets – $103.95
- ThriftyVet.com – $82.99 (+$6 Shipping)
Hold the phones, my friend Nick told me that 1800PetMeds pricematches and I found their policy here – looks like we have a winner.
As you can see, the prices can vary by a significant amount. In fact the cheapest I found, ThriftyVet, is almost half the price of the most expensive one I found, PetCareRX! That’s a staggering difference considering this is an OTC product. It’s like seeing the price of Tylenol vary significantly from store to store. Fortunately I kept looking because the big brands were still charging far too much for the stuff.
Reader Harold did some digging and found that for ThriftyVet, the domain registration, PO Box, and about us pages don’t match up. I haven’t ordered from ThriftyVet but that seems a bit fishy, so consider yourself warned. Remember to do your due diligence whenever you’re ordering products online.
Before I buy, does anyone have any recommendations for a store I missed or perhaps a recommendation on whether I should use Top Spot or Plus? We still have a dose from the rescue and we’re still several weeks from using it so we have quite a bit of time before we need to buy any ourselves.

I’ve been researching the same thing and was about to buy from Entirely Pets. We have a golden retriever (5 months old). I think I’ll be taking a better look into Thrifty Vets. I hadn’t heard of them before and had been recommended EntirelyPets but $50 is a big deal.
Jim, have you purchased Heartguard or Interceptor yet? I’m getting a prescription (as you have to get this before buying online) from the vet next time I go. It’s a little cheaper but protects from heartworms and I know Interceptor protects for a few other types as well. We have started using Interceptor and am about to start with the Frontline.
I’ve been procrastinating starting Frontline because of the mess with rubbing on couches, etc. That’s the best part about Interceptor (or Heartguard) is that it’s a pill. I’ll probably follow the 6 week span (as your rescue did) with Frontline and 4 weeks for Interceptor. I’ve heard that recommendation before from a friend who is a rescue worker.
Good luck with the new dog! They have a talented ability to make life a little less serious (which is something we should all do).
I haven’t purchased Interceptor yet, the rescue gave us two extra doses and that’s what Toby is on at the moment.
You’re right about seriousness, though I’m not a particularly serious person.
Meant to say, I’ve always talked with people who have used Frontline Plus. So I’m planning to go that route as well.
I have been buying mine at PetShed.com for a long time now. Great prices. About $50 for a 6 month supply.
I assumed this needed a prescription, because my Vet basically said they wouldn’t write one out for me to take online, as they didn’t trust any online pharmacies. Our low cost spay/neuter clinic offers it for $37 for a three month supply, or $148 for a year, placing it solidly in the middle.
Just a reminder, though, to never EVER use a dog’s flea medicine on a cat. It can be fatal, and requires emergency veterinarian attention.
Where did you get the info for the Reminder of never ever using dog flea medicine on a cat, and that it can be FATAL. The active ingredient in Frontline Plus for cats and dogs is the Same Fipronil manufactured by Merial. Some places charge a little more for the cat doses but it sure seems like the small dog dose is identical to the cat dose.
SOME flea meds can be used on both dogs and cats. Advantix cannot !!! It will KILL the cat. However, Advantage CAN. (Note the difference in names.) What you have to do, is find out the dose for your cat, ( I’m talking about topical, back of neck meds)squeeze all the liquid flea stuff into a small jar, (like a baby food size jar) and use a syringe (without a needle) like the kind you give human babies liquid meds with, to measure out the cat dose. Please also note: you need to know your cats’ weight! How much you put on the back of the neck depends on the cats weight. Use a bathroom type scale; weigh yourself and write it down; then pick up your cat and weigh again. Figure the difference: that is your cats’ weight. As a rescuer, I am always on the lookout for ways to save money, and I have done this before. Just make sure it’s NOT Advantix!!
Mama Gwyn,
Would you also say the same for Frontline Plus as you do for Advantage. Is Fipronil which is the active ingredient in Frontline Plus, the same as the active ingredient in Advantage?
Dogs flea medicine is not for cats it has a warning on the package no cats
When I tried to buy some meds for my cats online, I couldn’t because the online pharmacy wouldn’t let me. Apparently, they had to get the go-ahead from my vet and he didn’t agree.
Jim, hubby and I buy some of our pet supplies from drsfostersmith.com. Frontline for dogs 60 lbs +, for 12 months is $128 (on sale now).
If it’s too good to be true, it’s probably illegal.

Ack! The above was referring to ThriftyVet.com seems to be a scam.
http://whois.domaintools.com/thriftyvet.com
The registrant IP comes from Georgia, but the address (PO Box) is in West Virgina. The sites tagline in the “about us” link claims they are “Canada’s largest” be careful.
Hmmm thanks for researching Harold, it does seem a little fishy.
“The registrant IP comes from Georgia, but the address (PO Box) is in West Virgina.”
This is how collocated web hosting works.
We get ours from our local vet and he tells us never to buy anything like that online or from those 1-800 numbers because in most cases it is outdated or bogus medication that has been repackaged. My initial opinion is that maybe he is just trying to scare us from buying anywhere else so that we would continue purchasing his premium priced supply. However, I am really not sure. I don’t know if dog medication and flea and tick applications are moderated by someone to ensure quality?
If you do decide to buy it online, I would purchase it from a company that has a good track record and is a recognizable name in the industry. LAU mentioned a good one with Drs Foster and Smith. They have been around a long while and started out as a small brick and mortar store.
Your vet is feeding you bogus information. Many people feel a skepticism for internet and phone based businesses that is rooted in ignorance. The online vendors listed in this article are fine.
Hey Jim,
I have used K9 Advantix as well as Advantage on my dogs and they have worked well… One thing you may want to be aware of is that any of these products are poisons that could potentially affect the health of your dog. I’m not saying that they will for sure, and most healthy dogs are just fine.
What I do is limit the amount of product I put on my dogs – I do it less often than once a month (maybe once every two months) and I use the dosage that’s one step down from my dog’s size. This all depends on how prevalent fleas and ticks are in your area, but so far I haven’t had any issues with my dogs getting fleas or ticks following this protocol. I keep a good eye on their skin to make sure they aren’t scratching more than normal.
Anyway, good luck, dogs are wonderful companions to have!
As far as reputability of EntireyPets, I believe it’s high on the chain. My friend owns 6 cocker spaniels, fosters dogs and serves on a board for cocker rescue foundation. I know she buys from here and suggested because as others have said she’s against putting the medicine on too frequently.

Ends up price comes out pretty close to same (within a few bucks). Remember to be careful attempting to stack FatWallet and coupon codes (it can disqualify the FatWallet deal) typically it’s better just to use the one that gets you more $5 Off or 5% depending on how much you buy.
Hope this helps!
First, you need to make sure that if you purchase a product like this online, like others have said- it is not OUT OF DATE or a repackaged product. If the company does not have an actual street address listed somewhere, then it might be coming out of Mexico, where the laws on this kind of thing are very lax.
If you find a good price at a reputable pharmacy online ask your vet to match it. My husbands clinic will match prices from reputable online pharmacy’s (price plus shipping, he just asks you to bring in a screen print that shows the website, and total cost).
There are also coupons available from Frontline and other companys for a free dose when you purchase 5/6 regular doses, but these are only honored at your vet’s office.
I also use K-9 Advantix. The cost varies on the weight of the dog. I tried cheaper alternatives only to pay the vet to ell me my dogs had fleas. I used the product for 4 years without any issues. I get mine and worm medication at KVVET.COM. I have 2 dogs but the most expensive one is for a 16# dog/6 month supply $56.95 but shipping is free on purchases of $50 or more. I try to get the flea and worm meds at the same time.
Two years ago we purchased Frontline for our dog online. The vendor was in Canada and the product shipped from Australia. They had multiple websites all running from one office (I had a customer service question, so I called and they answered with a a different name). After arriving about two weeks later from Australia, the medicine was in fact the exact same as the US version. The packaging was sealed and all of the approval messages had the Australian Vet Society.
When it was time to buy again last year, I went with my local pet store for convenience over price.
I don’t remember the company I bought from two years ago, but I would do it again if I could to save money. We figured if the dogs are flea/tick free in Australia, it will do the job in the US. Just be careful and do your due diligence when looking into the company you are buying from.
I bought Frontline Plus for my dog from thriftyvet.com last fall with no problems. Same product, valid expiration date, factory seals intact. It did ship from Australia, but the service was seamless. I plan to order from them again.
Frontline never expires. That’s one of the reasons it’s OTC.
Hi I tried to order from thriftyvet. The order form would not take my credit card it asked for paypal. I am trying to get a phone number or email address to contact Thifty vet as I do not have a paypal account. Thrifty vets prices are very cheap and I would like to order from them if they are a legitimate company Do you know their phone number or email address? Thank you Emilia
Thrifty Vet doesn’t accept anything but paypay which is good for you! With paypal if someone sells you bogus goods or doesn’t send them at all, they go after them. They have Paypal insurance. They sure have great prices! I’ve bought from 1=800 PetMeds but they are getting pretty expensive, almost as much as the vet. They do deliver,though
Was there an address or phone number or email address sent when you received your order. If so could you send me an email with this information. I am taking care of 13 cats and really need to find a cheap supplier of Advantage. Thank you Emilia
Emilia -
Their email is flea@thriftyvet.com. I have bought from them before and I have not had fleas since. They do have a money back gaurantee and they carry advantage for CHEAP!! The only thing is you have to be patient. Last time I ordered it took about a week and a half to get it. I highly reccommend them.
Thanks, Crista
I’ve used Pet Supplies Online from Australia and have always had prompt service and the product seems legit, although I use it for my indoor cats:
http://www.psol.com.au/int/Fleas.html
They list the prices in AUS but they have a converter to show you how much you would pay plus I find the shipping reasonable. You may want to check them out. It has been about 6 months since I’ve last ordered from them but I’ve been using them on and off for a few years and have always been happy.
I don’t buy Frontline, but Advantage, and wouldn’t buy anywhere but at PetShed (http://www.petshed.com/products/item33.asp). Even though the company is in Australia, it only took 7 days to get from there to here in California. The price is right, and I’ve only needed to order it twice so far, because I don’t put it on the dog without a reason. If she has fleas, I’ll use it once and give her a bath a week later. It’s always worked so that I don’t have to reapply it, usually not until the next spring/summer.
Joe’s Pet Meds has it online for $39.95 for a three month supply plus shipping. http://www.joespetmeds.com/Item__id_35.html?gclid=CPS7vZb4lpoCFSRPagodsV9oNQ
i just buy from 1800petmeds because a co worker of mine is a vet technician and it was important how a medication gets transported and stored. 1800petmeds has a strict policy on storage ans ship of their meds. Plus your doggie will get a free snack in the box when you get your shipment. I will pay a little extra for peace of mind.
I use a website called vetshoponline.com, which is out of Australia, their prices are good and their products work well. I have been using them for about 4 years now, and they seem to have one of the best prices for flea stuff.
for frontline – price is 93.90 plus shipping.
Shipping is always 4.95 regardless of the size of order.
You may want to look into Revolution. We used it on our cats and it is suppose to treat the fleas, ticks, ear mites as well as heartworm. It may save you from having to buy the heartworm treatment separately. I don’t know the price comparison for dogs but it might be worthwhile to look into and compare.
I just ordered 12 month supply of Top Spot from PetCareRX, mostly becuase I used my citi card via the website and it was a 5point/ $1 Thank Point item
We will see if I stick with them…
I use 1800petmeds for flea and tick medicine and ALSO Heartgard heartworm medicine. For the heartworm meds, you give them your vet’s information and 1800petmeds will call your vet and get a prescription over the phone based on your pet’s last heartworm test results.
Also, 1800petmeds usually has shipping deals and discounts. They are either advertised on their website or can be found at currentcodes.com. Usually a $5 discount or free shipping over a certain order amount, etc.
I have purchased from EntirelyPets and had good service from them. One time I ordered a product from them for my dog but the dog died before I had a chance to use it on him. I called their customer service, explained the situation and since I had not opened the product, was able to return it to them and get a refund.
I just bought a 6 month supply of Frontline Plus for medium dogs (23-44 lbs) in December from Nationalpetpharmacy.com. The price was 74.99 + 4.50 s/h. When I purchased through ebates, the price was better than our vet. Sadly, our poor dog died suddenly on Jan 1. I now have 5 applications left that I would like to sell. If anyone is interested please email at familybalancesheet@gmail.com
Frontline Plus 12 month supply $ 93.90 plus $ 4.95 S/H http://www.petcarepoint.com I have ordered off of them twice no problems… I looked at ThriftyVet.com could not find a address or any type of info.. They did have a seal for some Vet organization…since 5-10-09 Another site joespet.com Great price but no info… Just found your site by chance… KEEP up the good work…
Does anyone know anything about joespetmeds.com?I ordered frontline plus for my dogs. The product shipped from Australia and has an expiration date on it.After doing some research I learned it should never have an expiration date. I called Merial and they said that the address if real should be from GA.Has anyone ever had an experience like this from joespetmeds.com or anywhere else with a similar situation?
Hi I always order my Frontline Plus with 1800petmed. I told them to price match the Frontline Plus from Thriftyvet.com 1800petmed said they could not price match,because is not EPA-registered products.Have anybody had this problem before from 1800petmed? Should I trust Thriftyvet.com to place my order for Frontline plus? Can anybody suggest where to buy the Frontline? I have 10 dogs and I need to order Frontline before the summer.
Has anyone ordered advantage from Thifty vet. They seem to have the best price. but it is a legitimage company. Any comments would be appreciated thanks
DON’T BUY FROM JOES PET MEDS!!! I BOUGHT SOME FRONTLINE PLUS FROM THEM 3 MONTHS AGO AND IS IS TOTALLY FAKE. IT HAS ORANGE STRIPES ON THE PACKING (THE GENUINE STUFF IS WHITE ON BACK) AND MY PETS AND HOUSE ARE NOW INFESTED WITH FLEAS AND TICKS AND IT MADE MY CATS SICK. THEY ARE CROOKED SHYSTERS AND YOU CAN’T EVEN SEND THEM AN EMAIL OR CONTACT THEM TO COMPLAIN UNLESS YOU ORDER SOMETHING FIRST WHICH SHOULD HAVE SENT A RED FLAG TO ME BUT EVIDENTLY, THEY HAVE PEOPLE EMPLOYED TO GIVE THEM GOOD REVIEWS ONLINE. THEY ARE CROOKS AND LIARS OUT TO STEAL YOUR MONEY. BEWARE/.
I have bought from JOESPETMEDS.COM for three years and THEIR PRODUCTS DO WORK. I have six cats three outside and three inside and I have not had any problems with fleas thanks to joespetmeds. Remember that you have to switch to advantage once every now and then because fleas are like the pest that get into your garden, they can build an immunity. So, if one pest was to survive, you might see some fleas or at least this is what the vet said when I asked.
I ordered from thriftyvet.com 0n 7/5/09. The package arrived on 7/7/09 and was exactly what I expected and exactly the product (Advantix) represented on the website. I am very pleased.
I purchased some Frontline from joespetmeds.com and they charged me twice for one order and then charged an additional fee for me using my debit card. When you place your order it doesn’t say anything about being charged extra for using a debit card. Also, it is very difficult to contact the company. They do not have a phone number and I have emailed them twice and still have not had my account credited.
Initially I was surprised by the difference in price between 1800PetMeds and Joe’s. I did some research on this and found out, through anecdotal evidence, that Joe’s was in Australia and that they don’t have the same standards so the meds are substandard (one person with a competing company said it was illegal…) I hate being ripped off so I checked out more sites on the web. I found those that said Joe’s was bogus (probably a web pharm reseller) and others that seemed to have legitimate issues. But by and large, the majority of what I read (about 110 reviews at 9 different sites) was very positive.
That said, I decided to email Joe’s about this issue to make sure I wasn’t breaking the law in the US and to find out about the quality. Here’s what they wrote back:
————————–
All of the products listed on our web site including Frontline, Advantage, Advantix, Revolution and Heartgard are exactly the same as the products you would purchase locally. In fact they are even made in the same factories to exactly the same specifications and then simply packaged for different geographic markets. There may be some minor packaging differences such as weights listed in KG’s rather than lbs where the target market has the metric system.
We understand that your concern for your pets welfare is your first priority (as it is ours) so if you don’t feel 100% comfortable with your purchase then return it and we will offer you a full refund upon receipt.
—————————-
I felt like I had nothing to lose at this point so I placed an order for Heartgard Plus and Frontline Plus. Joe’s was about 50% less than most sites I visited. The order took about 10 days to arrive from Australia. When I opened the small box I saw that this is the same stuff I saw at Petsmart, only significantly cheaper (and I think the picture of the dog was different. Maybe an Australian dog??) Anyway, the stuff in the box seems to be the same strength and quantity of the original i’m replacing it with. I’m satisfied that this is the same stuff I would get at most other internet or brick and mortar pet stores.
I’m not employed with Joe’s or any other pharm. provider. I’m a consumer with two of the best Shelties on the planet.
I’m pleased with what I got from Joe’s and I’d be happy to buy from them again when the time comes (allowing 10 days for shipping this time.)
There were a few people that had issues with contacting Joe’s in some of the reviews I read. I have to confess that I had none of these issues. The woman I chatted with at Joe’s (through email) was very helpful and polite and I got replies within an hour or so to the three emails I sent to them before purchasing product from their site.
I just bought frontline plus from Thriftyvet for a LOT less than pet meds or petscript, with shipping for 3 months is 2as less than 30.00 for a dog less than 10lbs. I also had to use PayPal and it sent me a receipt saying I paid some guy named Lloyd something so i got nervous and went on line to this site to check them out. It seems like people have used them before successfuly so I am hoping it wasnt a deal “too good to be true”

THRIFTYVET a valid company, with the cheapest prices!
I was super skeptical of my order with ThriftyVet after reading all of these complaints, and even considered canceling my order. However, it turned out to be a great deal with the correct product.
Placed my order September 01, 2009 for a 3 month supply of Feline Frontline Plus.
I got an invoice from paypal the same day, the payee as a Mr. McKinney.
The following day, I received an invoice from Thriftyvet with my USPS tracking number (9101 8052 1390 7772 5037 74, check for yourself!), which did not work until today, September 04, 2009, where it stated that the package had arrived at the local post office and would be in my mailbox today.
My account was charged once, for the correct dollar amount, using PayPal.
For the previous posts about “counterfeit” flea and tick products being sold, (etc. packages with orange stripes, packages being listed in metric measurements, or packages with expiration dates are supposed to be counterfeit), a visit to the Australian Merial website (Au.merial.com) should prove that these products are NOT counterfeit. Though the products are not FDA/EPA approved, they are the exact same product as sold by the US Merial company, but Australian procedure requires expiration and they obviously follow the metric system. Yet another way our American culture is displaying greed, selling the same product for double the price.
You make me feel so much better. I just placed an order with thrifty vet and I was getting nervous reading all of the bad reviews. Thank you for making me feel better.
I place an order today with Thriftyvet.com and after I got the paypal invoice and the payee was McKinney I got nervous so I looked around online and I found this site. I was thinking of cancelling my order but I will see what happens and I will keep everyone posted as to how my order comes out. Thank you all for sharing this info. M
I made a order for Advantage on 9/3/09 recieved the order today.9/12/09. I was only charded oncethru paypal. It was so much cheaper then a Vet. THANKS Thrifty vet .
Okay I got my order of Advantage for cats & dogs today and all is well. I was only charged once with paypal. I got a tracking number for my order with USPS and it works just fine. Yes the packaging is from Australia but it is made by Bayer, the exp date is 06/2013 (so that is good) and smells the same as the Advantage I have bought here in the States. I pay $106.98 localy for the same two boxes as I bought from ThriftyVet.com for $48.98 + $6.00 (for shipping) comes to $54.98. A savings of $52.00. So I will be getting my flea meds from ThriftyVet.com. I feel fleas are fleas no matter what part of the world they come from, and I want them gone. Thank You Lloyd… M
Here is my tracking number if any wants to see for them selves that I got my order 9101 8052 1390 7743 7322 19
Do you have other products besides flea products? such as heartguard? OH!
by the way I spent last evening comparing prices of flea and heart worm products, there are alotof companies on line, I looked at apprx 20 discount pet med companies on line, your company is by far the best price on flea products, looking forward to ordering from you, and I will spread the word. thanx, keep up the good work/prices. diane v.
Scary..some of these tidbits about ThriftyVet..and then some are quite re-assuring..Going to place an order and see how things go…You’ll SURELY hear from me if there is any problem! ML
I mistakenly ordered Frontline Plus from ThriftyVet (I already ordered thru Amazon)and never even opened the package. I returned it and three weeks later I am still waiting to hear from them or see my refund of $167. Does anyone have a phone number for them?????
I have four cats and switched to Thrifty Vet for about a year now. I have no trouble with price, shipping or expired product. The customer service they provide has been one of the best. Never a question they cannot answer and product only takes about 3-4 days to arrive. I would recommend Thrifty Vet over all the others!!!

Glad to hear you had a good recommendation for Thrifty Vet. I just ordered a year supply of Frontline Top Spot from thriftyvet.com and used Paypal for payment. Really had no problem after checking out their website and since they accept Paypal for payment. Paypal does protect the sellers and buyers with their payment policies. I will wait to see what I get from thriftyvet. It’s a chance I was willing to take as it is not a huge amount of money ($70. The Paypal account of the seller is registered to Lloyd McKinney, who is obviously the entrepeneur who operates ThriftyVet.com and sources the Advantage & Frontline supplies from Australia, Canada etc. Frontline is manufactured by Merial in France and somehow when it is sold in the USA it cost up to double of what it is sold in other countries even with online merchants in the US. One should always be skeptical and do due diligence when dealing with meds. Really questionable if the meds where to comes from China or a chinese source, then I would not touch it.
I did order from Thrift Vet. The shipping was slow but I got exactly what was described and paid for.
I ordered a 12-month supply of Frontline Plus for cats last week from Thriftyvet at a very good price. It was delivered to the wrong address and then was stolen. This was not the vendor’s fault. When I tried to reorder, this deal was no longer available.
We have had excellent experience with Frontline Plus, but it is much more expensive than Advantage. Can anyone tell me if Advantage is about as good?
