• Colourful Radio Interview with TV Vet Marc Abraham (08/07/2010 17:27:00)

  LISTEN TO THE FULL INTERVIEW BY CLICKING HERE 

  Over the past year, 56% of vets say they have had to put down cats and dogs because their owners could not afford the cost of treating their conditions.  Pet Drugs Online, a licensed supplier of both prescription and non-prescription veterinary medicines, is informing pet owners throughout the UK cheaper treatments for their animals are available.  The company has linked up with TV vet Marc Abraham to highlight the importance of correctly caring for pets.   

  The UK is a nation of animal lovers, with almost half of households owning a pet; accounting for around 23 million animals in the UK.  With vets bills rising by around 12% a year, research reveals vets are becoming concerned over the number of pets being put down and the number of recommended treatments being rejected for solely financial reasons.   

  Marc Abraham says: "Recent advances in veterinary diagnostics, brand new medicines available to pets, and increased pet life-expectancies have meant that potential vet bills have risen rapidly in the last few years. Furthermore, we have owners who are better informed due to TV programmes and the Internet, and are increasingly requesting the latest treatments and cures for their pets. The current economic downturn has further highlighted the cost of veterinary care as a worry for pet owners and, as a result, vets are concerned with owner-affordability coupled with their pets receiving the best care, welfare and treatment options available to them. Unlike with human healthcare there is no government funding for petcare."  

  Paul Smith, from Pet Drugs Online, says: "Vet visits are a must with any pet but many owners don't realise that their vet can also provide prescriptions for some pet medications, which can then be purchased outside their veterinary surgery, often at a much cheaper cost. These medications cover worming and flea treatments, as well as long-term prescriptions. Veterinary pharmacies, which supply medicines to pet owners, can offer substantial savings as they have lower overheads and can pass these savings back to owners, sometimes with as much as 50% reduction in costs.  One thing people need to check is that they are using a credible UK based pharmacy that sells drugs licensed for the UK."       

  Pet Drugs Online is run by a team of veterinary surgeons with over 30 years experience. Pet Drugs Online provides support and advice for pet owners, as well as supplying competitively priced products.  People can get advice and information on the range of product available by logging on to www.petdrugsonline.co.uk
