Hi everyone!
Its that time of year we need to get our dogs on heartworm meds for the Summer. Browsed online and saw I can save some money by ordering online from 1800petmeds or Drs. Foster and Smyth even with the shipping cost. We have two newfies and one newf cross so its a pretty big hit when we take them all in for their heartworm tests and to get all the meds, especially bc two packs are needed each since they are over the 100ibs limit for the biggest boxes. Anyways my only concern is that I am in Ontario, and they are in the states. I'm not overly familiar with buying in Canada and bringing it across the border, all I know is sometimes I have to pay duties/customs when my package reaches me, and other times I do not. So wondering if anyone in ontario, or somewhere else in Canada even, has ordered meds from these sites in the USA and if you were charged duties/customs when you got the package? I just don't want to bother doing it if by the time I pay the shipping and all the fees I've paid the same I would locally, or more. Does anyone know how I could find out exactly what fees I'd have to pay if I did order them in??
Thanks in advance
