ProMeris pet meds, from Fort Dodge, are a new flea and tick control solution for dogs and cats.
Promeris contains a newly available ingredient known as metaflumizone, offered as an alternative
to the more established topical flea and tick control duo combo products like
Frontline and
Revolution, both which have been available for several years now.
The "newness" of the ingredients in Promeris are being used to promote it because
it is possible for fleas, ticks and other organisms to develop a resistance to
specific chemicals over an extended period time. The thinking being that the older, popular
meds have been around for so long that fleas and ticks may have developed a resistance to them.

Our own pets have done, and continue to do, well on established flea tick products like
Frontline and Revolution. Around our house we're big believers in purchasing
something because it's been time tested, rather than because it is new. We like the fact that Frontline and
Revolution pet meds have proven themselves on effectiveness and safety with our own pets over time. Don't get us wrong,
we applaud Fort Dodge for
creating an alternative product, and should resistance become a problem for us in the future, we will be glad there
is another alternative to try.
However, resistance has not been a problem for us to date, so we'll most likely stick with the more proven meds until it does.
Can You Buy Promeris For Cats and Dogs From Online Pet Pharmacies?
Fort Dodge has been very strong in their stance that Promeris products should only be sold by veterinarians with a
one-on-one relationship with their client and pet, in other words, sold only by veterinarians practicing
in a walk in
veterinary hospital where they can see the pet
face to face.
The expressed sentiment is that this is going to be one product that
will
not make it to availability in online stores, not even veterinarian managed online pharmacies.
Fort Dodge has appeared to take several steps to make this happen, including
sophisticated monitoring practices and warnings of potential legal actions against online providers who try to sell the product.
At DiscountPetMedicines.com we support the belief that consumers should always maintain an active face to face relationship with
their pet's veterinarian and that they should only buy products recommended or prescribed by that specific veterinarian
for that specific pet's particular needs. However, once the pet owner has been told
what meds to buy for their specific pet, we believe it should
be possible to purchase the product from the
qualified provider of the pet owner's choosing.

About Buying "New To The Market" Pet Meds Products
As with many new products there is quite a buzz on the internet right now as to the effectiveness of Promeris, as well as,
possible adverse reactions that may or may not be attributed to it's usage. When you surf the internet for information
on any product, keep in mind much of what you will find is not proven, merely a matter of opinion, or quite possibly in
error altogether. We do believe that online research can be very valuable when trying to learn more about something new,
just be sure and look at the source, how dependable it might be, and how often the information tends to be repeated in your findings.
Check out the information for yourself but always follow up with a
one on one visit with your pet's specific veterinarian regarding your findings, the product's expected benefits,
any potential side effects and comparisons to more established
products -
before purchasing Promeris or any other new pet medicine.
