My dog is on his 2nd month of interceptor and for the last week has had diarrhea. I took him to a new vet and was told he has hookworm! Interceptor is supposed to be one of the better ones. I was asked where i got it and said 1800-petmeds. Was told that they get their drugs from foreign countries and you will never know what it is. That perhaps its effectiveness is changed or even ingredients….I was mortified as a new pet owner. I called 1800-petmeds and they actually said if i fax a copy of diagnosis and bills then i will get reimbursed. I wont use the rest of the meds from there but should i file lawsuit?
i cant say that the new vet has a vested interest because he lowered all of his med prices to compete with online companies like that…..the other vet i saw did make a profit however!

You're going to have to prove a whole lot more than that. You realize that your Vet has a pretty vested interest in telling you that, right? Vets make MUCH more money off selling you medications than they do off of the visits. So, absent some actual proof that the medication is bogus, you're not even going to get a lawyer to take the case.
