Last time I got Advocate from Tom (the vet) I asked if I could get a prespription for it as it was cheaper online.
So Katie had her booster yesterday, and I asked for a prescription for Advocate.  Tom asked how much could I get it for and what website - I said I think it was around £36 for 6 vials 10-25kg (petmed or vetsuk).
So, he had a look and said to save me the trouble, he'd let me have it for what I could get it online.
I paid him £29 !!!!!!
Don't think he was going to charge me for a prescription if I needed it either.


This Tom is one loverly vet me thinks.

I used to be able to get free prescriptions from my Vets, until about a year ago. I used to get it for Stronghold online for £15, so it was £5 cheaper than the vets. But now they charge £7.50 for a script, it's scuppered that!!
I still get my Frontline online, as it's alot cheaper.
