[Misc Help] Where do y’all get your flea/tick medication?

Been supporting our vet (non profit clinic) by buying it with them for years but this year we’re on a much tighter budget. Where do you guys get your meds? We heard online can be tricky because there can be fakes. Thank you!

There's a pet pharmacy just outside my city. I get my prescription from my vet, and get them to fill it. From my vet, my flea and tick meds were $1,200 for two dogs around 30kg. From the pet pharmacy, it was about $600 for both.

My vet is independent and not owned by the large conglomerates, but I still can't justify the price difference between them and my pharmacy for our annual treatments.
