j Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Saw this listing on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ADVANTAGE-FLEA-CONT...=item414abe3f3c Just wondering if it is all that it claims to be? Or would I be better off sticking with the individual pipettes? (I have dogs and cats, so this would be a considerable saving for me - just not sure of the claims they make) Edited November 25, 2009 by j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 wow that's not very legal technically you are not allowed to sell the pippettes separately or use them like they are selling, it's off label use and if something goes wrong you have no recourse. As for writing their own instructions I'm sure Bayer will have something to say about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j Posted November 25, 2009 Author Share Posted November 25, 2009 Mmmm. I wondered about that. I sent a query about the use by date but didn't ask about anything else. I think I will stick with individual pipettes. Sigh $$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 not saying that people have not split pipettes before on animals with no probs, just remember its an off label thing to do and if something happens it's on your head (eg under/over dosing etc) just saying it's not technically something that should be advised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9kutz Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 i do it, split the large dog ones across my little dogs with a syringe, know lots of others who do also. I have also suggested it to a couple of my very good customers who have multiple dogs to save them some money. But i am cautious about it, would not go around suggesting it to everyone.

WildatHeart Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) I do this too, split it between my cat and dog. I also do it for my grandmother's three dogs. But when i open mine if i dont use it all i put it in the fridge until next time. ETA: and for what they are charging (on ebay) you can buy your own 6 pack for the same price as if you brought 3 lots of the ebayers kit, which actually works out a bit dearer. And you have no idea if the liquid has been tampered with, like watered down, out of date etc. Edited November 25, 2009 by WildatHeart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 There's no way I'd be buying something poured into a plastic container - could be anything!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 The way I read it, you get the pipettes, and pour it into the provided container yourself. Don't think I will bother tho, will just continue with the packs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
