Vet shops.....WHY am i finding them so confusing?

I guess because you can go to "any" vet....but I don't have a prescription for flea medication....I just go to my vet and buy them.....wish I could get my mind wrapped around these!

Hi Nanabelle. If you purchase an over the counter flea brand like Frontline or Advantage, you can just go and purchase them without an rx but there are some brands you need an rx for. I have one I use on my dog. The vet wrote a prescription during my visit and it was filled directly after at the front desk. I could probably go and get refills for 3x just like for human prescriptions by just going to the front desk.

Nanabelle, there are several scenarios. Most don't require you to already have a prescription. Click through several of them and see if there are any left that don't need the prescription to already exist.

I think there were six or more scenarios, for dogs and cats, and covering more than one brand of product. You can't tell what the scenario is until you click the information link.

Is it okay to post the scenarios with the fees? I have them all from an email that you can pick from for cats that I'd be happy to share.

Your scenarios aren't going to help anyone else because those scenarios may not be available anywhere else. Also, anyone who is signed up with this MSC is getting their own email, and anyone who is NOT signed up with the MSC, it would be inappropriate to share that email.

Just remember to look for posters and displays in the lobby and in the examining room.

Does anyone who has done these shops ever used their own vet? ( I know you have to use a different vet each time but would you use your own vet?)

I worry because I really like my vet and would be concerned that he/she could figure it out . . . by notes in my cat's chart . . .

there's nothing for them to figure out. The vet will never know you were a mystery shopper because the shop isn't about the vet anyway. There's nothing for them to get in trouble over.

I have three different vets I use for my animals. I used two of them.

I have done two where I had to make an appointment for my cat(s), one for each cat. They were both flat rate shops, the difference between them was when the product was mentioned. The one where I was to purchase from the front desk, I thought to myself, "Great! No purchase, no brochures, no displays in the building." Since the vet bill was significantly more than I expected for my 19 year-old cat, I would not have the added expense of the purchase. As instructed, I asked the receptionist for the product. She had to go to the backroom for it, boy did I get "sticker-shock," the product cost $90.00, the flat fee was $69.00.
