Reasonable price, fast shipping, and very professional
From UndisclosedComments about Fluticasone (Generic) HFA 110 mcg, 120 Metered ActuationsThe price is much lower than it is at the major pet retalier's pharmacy ($149 lower). The medicine quality was excellent, as my cat did as well or even better on the generic than the expensive bigpharma med. My vet recommended VetRxDirect to me and I'm really glad she did. Asher is running around playing again, and is really a very happy kitty on Fluticasone Generic. Every step of the way, from the ordering process to the prompt shipping went way better than I even hoped for. Thanks, VetRxDirect! -
