The Quest to Buy Cheap Frontline Plus Online

Shopping online for pet products not as easy
as the ads make it look

I've been buying Frontline Plus from my vet for about 16 years, but the vet I've know all this time recently retired and his vet clinic bought by a multinational company, so I decided I could look at shopping online for flea control without feeling disloyal. Today I decided to buy Frontline Plus online from an Australian company. I had not realised how hard it would be.

I started of course with a google search, and received over 3,990,000 results for my search for "frontline plus online". Because I wanted to buy from an Austalian online pet store, I narrowed my search to "frontline plus online australia" and the result count was down to just under 500,000 but still overwhelming.

I decided to try "cheap frontline plus online australia" and got 272,000 results, and "cheapest frontline plus online australia" got it down to just over 100,000 results, so decided to start there. Interestingly, the first result was for VetShopAustralia.com.au which I already new about, because it is an advertiser on Woof! Australia, so I thought I'd look at the other options first.

Without naming names, I was disappointed and not a little frustrated. Some websites were hard to use, one wasn't even based in Australia and two more I couldn't find out how much they charged for postage and handling. After about 25 minutes, I gave up as it was time to cook the kids dinner.

After dinner, I thought there must be a better way to find the best Australian online store selling Frontline Plus, so I decided to harness the power of social media and ask my friends. That was a much happier experience, and got heaps of recommendations. Here are the 3 most recommended places to buy Frontline Plus online in Australia (according to my friends):

37 recommendations - VetShopAustralia.com.au - main reasons: cheap, easy to use website, vet owned, paypal.
28 recommendations - VetProductsDirect.com.au - main reasons: vet owned, loyalty points, mobile ap
16 recommendations -  Aussiepets.com.au - main reasons: cheap, paypal

I also got warned off a couple of sites that I actually thought looked not bad, and while I won't name them, I'm glad I did ask my friends. I'm now convinced, asking my friends where they buy Frontline Plus online is so much better than searching on google. Now,has anyone got a recommendation on where I can buy a toddler car seat?
