Hey!, This is Susie Lee-Hurley for myself and Wes at the Ferret And Dove Sanctuary. We just got our issue of Ferrets Magazine, for July/Aug, 2004 and What to our wondering eyes should appear but ourselves! Or, rather, our shelter's being listed along with other finely ferrety resources right There!, on page 59!, in a national magazine publication! Hot diggity rice boxes! It makes us feel as though we've "arrived" to be in such great company! Okay, now for the sober-stuff... For anyone who hasn't seen this, there is an article published in USA Weekend's June 4-6 issue on their "Think Smart" page by Steve Dale warning against counterfiet Frontline and Advantage products being marketed and sold in retail stores and online. The main caution both companies that make these products is that they each ONLY sell their products directly to licensed veterinarians. So that we need to pass along the word to all our friends and family animal-care-persons of cats, dogs, ferrets, and every other furred, flea-sensitive critter to ONLY purchase flea and tick killing products from a licensed veterinarian. Having already "shopped around" various vets' prices, we're more than pleased to stick with our original and best because he sells to us at his own cost due to knowing we're a shelter and rescue and giving us the only break that can be given, which is pretty nice, I think. So you guys can surely do the same, by which I mean to shop around different vets and animal hospitals for your Frontline or Advantage, but remember to be careful to ONLY buy from them, unless you're a licensed vet, your own self.
