    Ordered Frontline Plus for large dogs, a product I have been using for 7 years with great success, until the used the product from Budget Pet Care. Quite simply, it did not work. It was completely ineffective. To know whether something has worked, one must try it. So of course there was no product remaining that could have been returned for a refund. The guarantee, as such, is meaningless. I am convinced that the product is counterfeit, and as I note that as this problem has been such a past, recurring, and present problem, and that this seems to be the rule and not the exception, the company knows the product is counterfeit. As such, this company is engaged in fraudulent practices. It will not prosper.

    I have been using Frontline for 17 years. My girl, Freeway has NEVER had a flea. I put Frontline plus & top spot on her for the last two months. I purchased it from BudgetCare.com. Freeway has had fleas for two months. I tried to call Budget Care and after waiting for a couple of minutes, they told me to leave a message. I emailed them last week & told them my dilemma. They said they spoke to Merial and if I return the unused product they would refund my money. I told them their 100% guarantee is worthless because you have to USE the product to see if it works. They only refund the unused portion. Merial is of no use either, I called them too. All I want to know is WHY does Freeway still have fleas?? This did not come from the USA. I have four other cats that have Frontline on from a different company, they don't have fleas!!!

    Horrible Company. They told me it was held up at Customs. All I know is I ordered the flea medication in April before the flea season, and now it is June and my dog is covered in fleas! Company is not honoring 30-day delivery guarantee. I feel as though I got robbed.

    I ordered the FrontLine for small dogs and the product does not seem to work. I applied the FrontLine on my dog twice already as well as dipping him at least three times and treated my yard three times as well and our dog still has fleas. We previously had a large Labrador that I used FrontLine (purchased in Mexico) on and we had no issues with fleas on that dog. Makes me wonder if the product purchased from Budget Pet Care is the real thing.

    I understand the product from this company is making pets sick. I am glad I mistrusted them enough to check this out. All the warning signs are there. Read this.

    I ordered a 3-month supply of Frontline Plus or Top Spot (or so I thought). I received Frontline Combo stating this was a replacement for the Frontline Plus. This was from a Canadian company, BudgetPetCare. The substitute product is made in the UK and they had to send it due to a manufacturer's shortage. The company made no attempt to solicit my approval for the substitution prior to their shipment. They are willing to let me return the product to Huntsville, Missouri (really?). But since I am not happy with the product, they insist I still pay for their shipping of it to me. So, they will be deducting $5.00 for the original shipping charges for a product I did not order. I quote another comment: “Beware! If their substitution practice is unacceptable to you, do not do business with this company!”

    There is no way I am placing this on my pet. I do not trust them. The color of product is not same as my Frontline Top Spot - I don't know about the Plus. The box was not sealed! The three for small dogs were not even in a box. Also, it took BudgetPetCare.com three days to even ship the product and then they emailed that it would be here in 10 to 14 business days; they said that if it did not arrive, email back and they would refund my money. Now, that is an idea. Hmmm… But I am an honest person. So to Missouri it goes. $5 - I don't care. I will not fight them for $5. I will spend my time instead in posting this review on every site I can and then on my Women’s Fiction Blog (myths, dense observations and lies we've been told). You can take this out if you want. I just want to make the point how bad it is and about how disillusioned Canada is now. I trusted this purchase. This company fits my criteria for shady. I'm ticked.

    I should have researched the reviews on Budget Pet Care before I ordered. I ordered Frontline Plus and received Frontline Combo. If I wanted Frontline Combo, I would have ordered it from another state side cheaper company. And when you try to return the bait and switch product, they want you to pay for the return shipping and they also said that they would refund the entire amount less $5. Not to mention, within 3 days of my online transaction, my credit card was duplicated and $4976.23 in fraudulent charges were placed against my credit card. All the purchases were made in the Montreal Canada, in the vicinity of Budget Pet Care. Never again! They need to be shut down!

    I placed an order on 8/20. My credit card was charged on 8/23. They claimed that the merchandise was shipped out on 8/23. I called to inquire on a tracking number, but they don't ship using tracking numbers. I've been calling since 8/30 to inquire on my order. I was told I needed to wait 14 business days. On the 15th day, I called again to request a refund. Now they are telling me they can't do anything before 28 business days have passed. I have asked twice to speak for a supervisor (within business hours). On both occasions, I was told that the supervisor has left for the day. I'm requesting a refund through my credit card bank, which they can do via charge back rights. I also submitted a complaint through Better Business Bureau in their area. I do not recommend anyone from doing business with this company, as they don't have personnel to support you or tracking information to provide proof of shipping.

    I bought Frontline Plus for extra large dogs for my Great Dane. I bought a 6 months' worth. I had already used 4 of these 6 packs in less than a month, and my dog had more fleas on him now than he has ever had before. I asked for exchange of something else or my money back. They refused to exchange or refund for used product, even though I explained 3 times exactly how I had used them on the dog (which was used correctly) and that the product just didn't work.

    Their site says 100% Satisfaction. Well, I sent the unused (last 2 months' worth) back and told them to refund my money. They gave me back 1/3 of what I paid, because I used 2/3 of the product. I went back to their website to look at their 100% satisfaction guarantee, and it says 100% Satisfaction: If for any reason you are not satisfied with any item, return it unopened for full refund within 5 days.

    Now tell me, how will you know if you are satisfied with the product until you try it? I have used this product with success before, so I had no reason to doubt that it would work. I know the carton said the product was in date, but I question then if it was swapped, mismarked, or just a defective product. I would tell other customers not to buy from this site, because their guarantee is deceiving you into false confidence that they will back their product. I paid $63.88 and got a refund of $19.63. So it cost me $44.25 and a month of suffering for my dog. Also, now I have fleas in my house that will need to be treated to get rid of.

    Made a purchase did not receive, called them. They stated that the delivery would be postponed indefinitely. Was given the option to cancel the order. Cancelled the order and was told that a refund would be given within 3-5 business days. It has been seven business days and no credit has been issued to my account.

    Due to the delay, we had to reorder from another vendor and my pet has now gotten fleas. The money is not going to break me but it is my money. They took it from me fast enough. I would expect that a return would be addressed in kind.
