Because I get awesome answers here on all my coding questions, I'm submitting this here as well. If you have a dog, have you ever ordered HeartGuard (heart worm) medicine for him/her on PetMeds?

I tried, and I was happy they wanted my vet's information. That made it seem legitimate. They called the vet then emailed me that the vet wanted me to call them. My vet refused to approve it. They said they had gotten heartworm cases in dogs who had taken medicine from online or catalog companies. (I didn't think to ask at the time if any of the dogs they treated had gotten heartworm while taking medicine they received directly from the vet!) They did not say PetMeds explicitly was one of these companies, but said something like PetMeds lost its license in FL where it is based.

And there's this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/in...2092231AALgX4w

They had a better price than my vet. My current vet is more $ than my previous vet so I looked around for an alternative. I called my former vet. They said they authorize PetMeds all the time.

Obviously, paying extra money is worth my pet's health, if that's what it takes.
