Many of you know I own approximately 150 dogs – – well, little dogs running around makes it seem like that many.  And yes, it’s expensive for all their shots.  So I started buying my vaccination products online through sites that supply vets and animal breeders.  In Illinois (as in many other states), you can buy all the vaccines you want/need with the exception of rabies, which have to administered by a licensed vet.  I am very happy with my current supplier, Revival Animal Health, because they’re extremely responsive to emails, ship very quickly and have excellent prices.  And no, I don’t get paid a dime to say that!  Eliminate everything but rabies (and you can get those at any of the big-box animal stores with a quick wellness check or at your own vet) and you’ve reduced considerably the cost of pet ownership.

And they don’t only carry vaccines and medication.  Want your pet ID microchipped?  Right now they’re on sale for $34.99 for a 5 ct of single use, disposable implanters.  These are the same ones you pay $50+ retail (I know ’cause I’ve paid…).
