TV Pill Peddlers Ads don't tell the whole truth

Here are 3 facts that the TV Peddlers of Pet Pills (that operate “gray market” Online Pet Pharmacies) really don’t want you to know. Before you buy pet meds online, ask yourself one question: “Why?” If your answer is
1) I believe that I am buying the “same pet medications as my local Vet sells”.
There are several ways to lie to someone. The one that peddlers use is the “half truth”. The heartworm pill box may be the same as the local vet’s, but the whole truth is that the WARRANTY IS VOID if you buy your pet’s heartworm preventatives online.
Let me translate that into USD (United States Dollars for non-Ebay users). In order to “save a dollar today” by buying from an online gray market pet pharmacy, you are risking around a thousand dollars if you pet contracts heartworm disease.
2) I buy Heart Worm Preventatives online to avoid a Veterinary office visit.
Your dog or cat must be have an annual heartworm test before popping a pet pill. If you do not have your dog or cat tested for heartworm disease, you COULD REALLY HARM YOUR PET. No visit. No prescription. No heartworm preventatives can legally be sold.
3) I buy pet medications online to save money on my total Veterinary costs.
Money from pet drug sales and Veterinary Services built your local animal medical center. This is really a zero sum game. Any money taken from drug sales must be added to the price of Veterinary Services in order for the DVM (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) to stay in business.
You pet’s doctor has made a BIG investment in a local pet health care facility that is used to immediately treat your sick or injured pet.
The TV Peddlers of Pet Pills made a BIG investment in TV ads.
Who do you trust with your pet’s health?
