buying pet meds online

I have used a UK site called http://www.petmeds.co.uk who deliver to Ireland. Very reliable and some medication half the price of what a vet would charge.
In case anyone is thinking of using it for ordering the prescription dog food just double checked that site and the food itself is approx €66 with €7 delivery charge so €73. I buy it in our vets at about €82 with each 6th bag free along with a €10 voucher offer on the 1st bag in each cycle of 6 purchases.
As I buy the 12kg bag not sure if customs could get involved with their charges at some stage?
IMHO not worth the bother.

There is a bit of a 'vagueness' about these prescriptions as I have asked for prices for the above mentioned dog food in a few different vets and only one told me that I would need a prescription.
Some years ago I used to buy in a local chemist shop for handyness sake. When I switched to Advocate they told me they could probably get that as well and never mentioned a prescription. I usually buy it in the vets now as the prices are similar to the chemist.
Only ever came across one but not sure if you ask that they can order it in. Think it depends on their supplier, how local the shop is and if they know you and are willing to order specific sizes etc.
One thing that's driving me mad about using Advocate is that they now say you must keep the dog dry for 4 days after applying
They obviously haven't met my water mad springer spaniel.
P.S. See I go the brand wrong above (corrected now) and its def Advocate that I use rather than Advantage.
