Prices for heartworm meds change all the time. There is no one site that will be the cheapest every month. 1-800-PET-MEDS is usually one of the more expensive sites.
I don't know if any of you that use Revolution are open to another opinion, but I very strongly discourage the use of Revolution. In my experience, it is not as safe or effective as any of the ORAL heartworm prevention. It does nothing for hookworms, roundworms, or whip worms, some of which are transmittable to people from dogs and are microscopic. These intestinal worms are easily picked up by dogs on walks or at the dogpark.
It does treat for ear mites and demodex mange... but why treat for those when you know that your dog does not have them?

I just switched to Trifexis after my first ever bout with fleas. So far there has been no reaction. My dog will not take pills even if I try to put it down his throat. Interceptor was easy to hide in peanut butter or a piece of bread. I have to crush this one up and mix with peanut butter.

I have resorted to making a "meatball" with wet food (I use Wysong) and the pill to mix up my dog to take it. Comfortis is supposedly chewable, but her Highness doesn't like it.  Greenies also makes Pill Pockets, which gave me the inspiration for the meatball!

I'll keep that in mind for our new lab puppy. Before her, we've only ever had pugs who prefer to stay indoors (i.e. sleep) and hate going outside  We've just switched vet's and they don't offer Revolution, so we'll probably have to change it anyway.

i always check 1800petmeds.com for their current sales price. I print it to take to my vet, who price matches it.
