I made an order for Advantage from an on line service and it came from New Zealand...The package looked the same but I honestly don't think it was filled with Advantage, more like water..I ended up going to our local vet's office and getting Advantage...I've been leery about ordering on line, after that....

I know it's risky ordering online and I think some companies are scammers. I have 7 cats and wanted a two months supply which cost $55 for three doses at Petsmart and I ordered it for $93 for 12 doses. The stuff is made in France..Merial company but other countries don't charge as much. Something like seniors going to Canada for meds. This last dose I got came from New Zealand. It appears to be the real thing but I guess you'd have to take it to a lab and have in analyzed. MAAK has really bad consumers complaints which I only read after the fact. This other company had good feedback.

http://www.petsuppliesnet.com/shop.htm Thats where I order my flea meds and heartworm pills from, and never had a problem! never seen any fleas and heartworm checks at vet always turn out negative. have compared the flea pkg to the one i bought in the USA and they appear pretty much identical. Im happy, dog/cats are happy, all that matters.

I also use petsuppliesnet.com too and have never had a problem,though I only order frontline plus from them.Debbie

My last order came from vetshoponline.com.It appears to be okay and came in a timely matter. I had the charge to the MAAK company taken off my card. This is a company with a bad reputation., so spread the word.

I order from PetShed.com. Very low prices and it takes about 10 days to ship to you. It's in Australia.

I order from Foster & Smith. It is a company owned by two veterinarians in Wisconsin. I've found their prices are reasonable and I know I'm getting the real thing.
