Great Price
I purchased Clindamycin previously from the Vet about 9 months ago. I came home and looked up the price and was amazed at how much cheaper it was from Pet Meds. I told myself if I ever had to purchase again it would be from Pet Meds.

800 Petmeds helped in a time of need
My dog Tessie has has an allergy issue for a couple of years now. It resulted in her biting all of her fur from her legs. Because of her constant licking she developed an infection. The medication worked quickly and she is on the mend. My only complaint is that 800 Petmeds only offered 150 mg and we needed 300 mg. This resulted in a bit of back and forth with the vetand Petmeds resulting in a bit of a delay in getting our order processed.

This product has done wonders for Sparkle's teeth. She is now going back to her dentist, but the bleeding has stopped and once the dentist does her job, she ought to be fine. I use this product one week out of the month to maintain healthy teeth. Yes, we recommend highly.
