I have been looking around the web and trying to find some good online stores to purchase my pet supply. So far I have found petsmart, petco and familypetdotcom to be the only ones that are professionally done. Most of the other stores I have found look like fly by night stores. Can anybody tell me about their experience especially with the reliability and safety? Thanks
I use http://www.petextras.com for ordering treats. I have been using them for years, and the service is second to none.
For heartworm/flea control I use http://www.petsuppliesnet.com The only bad thing about this site is that they are located in Australia, so it takes about 10-14 days to get your order. The nice thing is that they do not require a prescription which many vets charge you for.
For shampoo & first aid stuff I use http://www.valleyvet.com I love this site. They have everything you could ever need.
The prices at all of these sites are pretty good. Every now & then I will find an item at a slightly lower price, but on the whole they are the best that I have found. I have never had a problem with product or service from any of these.

I've just recently started using (and LOVE) this one:
http://www.drsfostersmith.com/
It was recommended to me by someone else on this board!
I read online reviews regarding the company before I began purchasing & a lot of complaints were that they were really expensive. But I've found that to not be true at all! I got my dog a hoodie for $13 (she is an extra large!), some awesome treats for $5, a rain slicker for $5 (another extra large!), and her frontline for $35! Do you know what I pay for frontline at the vet? $56!!!
Thanks for posting up your sites Evey, I'm going to check them out! :)
I did get Shadow a life jacket from Foster & Smith. I have ordered a few other items from them as well. I was always happy with the service.

Just a note to anyone ordering online pet topicals and prescriptions, make sure that they are the real thing. Before choosing the affiliate sites I work with I directly called manufacturers to make sure they were the same products that were being sold at vets.
I spoke with Bayer, the manufaturer of K9 Advantix. The reason being that I was finding some sites were offering 3 packs and some 4 packs. They informed me that the 3 month packs that are being sold out of country are counterfeit. The number for Bayer is 1-800-255-6826, for anyone who may want to contact them.

Agree with you! Pet meds is a reputable company for meds for your pet! Pet supplies I like
www.sitstay.com
always seem to have best prices, and they get my order to me ASAP. They have lots of unique things there too!

Sitstay.com is a good site. I've used them in the past. Pet meds tends to be just as expensive as the vets. The affiliates I use on my website are dog.com for flea and tick, and entirelypets.com for heartworm and other prescription medications. I've checked both of them out very thoroughly, as I wanted to make sure I was using reputable sites on my website. And no, I don't make anything from posting the links above. I only make a commission if someone clicks to those sites going through my website. I just want to see that people are getting the real thing and not being ripped off.

Hi,
I own http://www.tailwagginprices.com, my prices are reasonable and shipment is sent out right away. It may look like a fly by night company but our company is very reliable. If you don't see what you're looking for many of customers send an email and my staff response to them immediately.
Thanks,
Mick

I tried to go to your tailwagginprices web site but it was down. I ended up ordering from FamilyPet.com (http://www.familypet.com). Seemed to have the biggest selection and great prices beside the other two big ones. I will report how everything went. If anyone else has any experience with them let me know.
I will have to try some of the other shops you guys recomended.
Thanks also on the tips about the meds realy good advice.
Thanks again.
