legal requirement or market research?

Gaelle

I am trying to source wormers and Frontline on line but one site stipulates that it is a legal requirement for them to have details of your pet before they can send stuff out. True or false? I have never come across this before.

I think they probably do need the details before selling prescription medicines.

Yes but my understanding is that Frontline is no longer prescription only.

I would never buy a medicine online, there are a massive amount of fake medicines out there, alot of which are sold on the internet.

If you stick to the large websites you will be OK. I use www.paws247.com

Gaelle...........you would have to give them your details before they could send anything to you Confused

Yes of course I would, but it's not those details they are looking for, it's more a survey of type of pet, age, when and what it was last wormed with, that type of questionnaire! Laughing

Okay I'll just stick with where I know, the rest shall have to remain a mystery.

When I buy my horse wormers, I have to get them from a saddler who is licensed to sell them and they take my name, address and pony details

Worming horses is a nightmare, most people in the area they live all worm at same time with same type of wormer and a different times of year you have to use certain types as there is a huge problem with grazing being infected and worms building up resistance Sad
