Thread: Prescriptions

Im finding that the prices for flea & worm treatments from my vet is rather extortionate, so I found the same items online, but they all require a vetinary prescription before they will sell.
How do I approach my vet to get a prescription, & can they refuse? I recently spent over £60 on 2 boxes of spot on & a can of upholstery spray. When I searched online I could have had all for £42 delivered.
Although I am really happy with my vet, I do feel a bit ripped off sometimes.
Any advice appreciated.
