Generic products often get a bad rap. They are seen as inferior, or somehow less valuable and reliable than their name-brand counterparts. Some people think that lower cost means lower quality.
As consumers, we are tuned to trust big brands. Nike and Adidas dominate sportswear, for example. Or look no further than headphones. Are the $300 headphones really six times better than the $50 pair?
The same bias exists in the world of pet medications. Mega-brands like Frontline and Heartgard dominate the market at the expense of the less expensive generic alternatives, like Flea5X Plus, generic for Frontline.
Consumers are generally leery of brands they aren't familiar with and are willing to pay a bit extra for the peace of mind that accompanies a household name. However, that might not make the most sense for your wallet.
Making sure your pet takes the medicine he or she needs doesn't have to be a struggle! Just follow these tips for giving your pet medication.
