I do worry about where the drugs are produced when they are bought online, so I would go with a trusted site, and I would probably ask about where their drugs are manufactured.

I don't know what the drug you need is for, but I have worked with my vet a few times to use the people pharmacies where they have free or discounted drugs. I have a cat who is on steroids, and we found a drug store with $4 prednisole.

I hope that you find a cheaper way to get the drugs, and that your dog lives a long and painfree life.
