Times have gotten rough for a lot of us and as a slave to a feline one of the things that I have found that has gotten completely overpriced is flea treatment.

I normally purchase Bravecto plus (3 month) and the average price is getting close to double what it was a few years ago (averaging $90 for each 3 month treatment).

Kitty was facing gaps in treatment due to other bills taking precedence but thankfully I came across a Tauranga vet service "MyVet" who are selling most of the common flea treatments (and other treatments & prescriptions) for about half the price of everywhere else.

In January I used some holiday pay and brought a years supply saving about $150.

Which may not seem like a big saving but it buys a whole lot of cat biscuits and soft food.

That cat is adorable .

I think what happens is sometimes brick and mortar shops don't update their online pricing regularly. I have found a few good deals over the years that way on pet things and dentist things.
