Pet owners can bag 20% off flea treatments as customers say it ‘saves on vet costs’

Cat and dog owners are stocking up on spring flea and worming treatments with up to 20% off at Animed

As pet owners, we all desire nothing less than the best for our cherished companions. While trips to the vet are often necessary, they can arrive with a substantial price tag.

Now, cat and dog owners are flocking to online retailer Animed to purchase essential spring treatments, with discounts of up to 20% currently available on selected products. Operating behind the scenes, the company benefits from a dedicated team of veterinary surgeons and clinical specialists, who examine more than 800 prescriptions daily to help guarantee pets receive safe and appropriate care.

From worming treatments to parasite prevention, the online store provides an extensive range of products created to keep pets healthy and comfortable as warmer weather approaches. And should any concerns arise, a team member will reach out to customers directly to provide reassurance and convenience.

Worms, particularly, remain a widespread concern amongst pet owners. Animed’s specialists recommend watching for telltale signs of infection, including unexplained weight loss, diarrhoea or vomiting, a swollen abdomen, and, in certain cases, visible worms in a pet’s faeces.

For those seeking to treat or prevent infection, several options are on hand. These include the Drontal Dog Tasty Bone Wormer Tablet for small and medium dogs, priced at £2.69 per tablet, and the Drontal Dog Tasty Bone XL for larger dogs over 20kg, available for £8.99 per tablet. Cat owners, meanwhile, may want to look at Panacur Granules 22.2% w/w Wormer Sachets for dogs and cats, priced at £1.35 for a 1g sachet, or £10.49 for a pack of three 4.5g sachets, reports Bristol Live.

Fleas are another common problem for pets, causing persistent itchiness and discomfort. According to Animed, owners should be on the lookout for constant scratching or biting that leads to inflamed patches of skin, or for tiny black specks in their pet’s coat.

Pet owners who believe their animal might be suffering from fleas are advised to act swiftly. Specialists recommend thoroughly hoovering all areas where pets regularly spend time, as well as washing bedding at high temperatures to help destroy any remaining flea eggs.

Rapid treatment is equally essential, with products such as Frontline or Drontal widely used to combat infestations. Additionally, preventive measures (including spot-on treatments, flea collars, tablets, shampoos, and household sprays) can help keep pets well protected.

Animed stocks a variety of solutions, amongst them the Advantage Spot-On Flea and Lice Treatment, available in formulations suitable for numerous animals. Prices begin at £16.99 for smaller pets (including cats, dogs and rabbits under 4kg), increasing to £17.58 for larger dogs weighing between 25kg and 40kg.

Meanwhile, Itch is providing a combined flea and worming treatment for dogs at a reduced subscription price of £4.50 (down from £10.50), or £15.99 for a single purchase. Pet owners might also want to explore alternatives from Pet Drugs Online, which carries an extensive range of treatments, including the Panacur Small Animal Oral Suspension Wormer for cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies (10%), priced at £21.98.

Within Animed’s special offers section, pet owners can discover savings on numerous products, including the Danish Design Red 3-in-1 Dog Coat, discounted in all sizes (except medium) and priced from £13.79. The Danish Design Fleece Charcoal Arrows Slumber Dog Bed is also presently reduced, with the smallest size now priced at £28.63, down from £40.90.

On Trustpilot, Animed maintains an impressive rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars based on over 356,000 reviews, which the platform categorises as ‘excellent.’ One shopper commented: “Fast delivery, quick purchase method.

“Handy to get things online for dogs rather than a trip to the vet for better quality worming tablets.” Another customer commended: “Excellent service, saved money on vet prices.” A third observed: “Easy to talk to, professional and caring.”

However, one shopper voiced disappointment with the time it took to receive delivery confirmation, saying: “Easy to order as I have ordered many times before for my fur babies’ food.

“But four stars given as after ordering, a payment was taken, but there was a very long period of waiting for delivery details from confirmation of my order. Not sure why, as this had not been the case in the past.”

Despite this, other shoppers heaped praise on the retailer, with one commenting: “Fast, efficient and one of the cheapest. Trust the products with my precious fur babies.”

A further review reads: “Good company, everything you would need for your fur baby, you can buy from Animed. Excellent quality, excellent price. Will use again.”
