- No cons for this drug.
- Dealing with Entirely Pets Pharmacy was a nightmare .
- First time ever that it took so long to get a prescription from an on line pharmacy.
- It took about a full month just to get my prescription into their hands.
- I had asked them to contact my vet and they placed one call then told me my vet said to pick up a written prescription.
- Which was completely false.
- So I decided to just mail them the prescription and when I received the product the condition of the boxes looked like they had been through someone stepping all over them.
- Thank goodness the pills are sealed well in their package from the drug company.
- Won?t ever order from Entirely Pets Pharmacy again.
