Weigh In: How do you feel about Bayer selling Advantage and Advantix directly to stores?

Posted on June 8, 2010 by Linda

advantage flea controlIn case you haven’t heard, Bayer, the maker of Advange and Advantix, has begun selling their prescription chemical flea and tick control products to pet stores.

This flies in the face of their former policy, which was in effect for many years, of selling these potent chemical insecticides only through veterinarians.

This move by Bayer is even more interesting because of the recent announcement by the EPA that it is receiving reports of increased number of reactions to chemical flea and tick insecticidal products.

We’ve put together a short survey about this move by Bayer for you to weigh in on:

1.  How do you feel about Bayer offering their products direct to consumers via retail pet stores?

2.  Has your relationship with Bayer been affected by this move?

3.  What flea & tick products do you recommend to your customers?

4.  Other comments?

We’ll publish the results of this survey in the near future.

Thanks for participating and you can also leave your comments below.
