As a result of extensive research,
Oldtown is now
recommending Vectra 3D as our product of choice for flea and tick
prevention for your dog.
Why are we switching after all
these years of emphasizing the importance of using Frontline???
Earlier this year, there was a major change in the Flea & Tick
prevention industry when many companies introduced products using the
same active ingredient as Frontline. Because we knew that you as a pet owner would be inundated
with claims of ‘our product uses the same ingredients as Frontline,
but ours is
cheaper,’ we conducted a study to determine which product
offered the best value to you and your pet.
Vectra 3D was selected for
the following reasons:

We love this applicator!
Vectra 3D's
patented applicator tip was clearly designed with pet owners in
mind. It opens by simply pushing the top disk down and there are
no drips! Nothing comes out until you squeeze the tube. |
|
Effectiveness |
Kills and repels ticks & fleas.
Repels mosquitoes & other pests |
Kills ticks and fleas |
|
Packaging |
Simple to open |
Difficult to open –most people have to
use scissors or knife and sometimes accidently cut open the
applicator |
|
Application |
The rounded, elongated tip reduces risk
of skin abrasions and makes it easy to reach skin through coat.
No drips – nothing comes out until you squeeze the tube. |
Sharp edges on applicator increase risk
of skin abrasion. Can be messy and awkward to apply to dogs
with thicker coats. |
|
Cost |
Cheaper than Frontline. Volume purchase
incentives can be used towards the purchase of any product or
service at Oldtown. |

There's no way around it: there are times when our
pets need veterinary care. With some pets, taking a trip into the vet's
office can be a daunting and stressful experience for everyone
involved. Save yourself time, trouble & anxiety-- and let our mobile
service come to you!
House calls are ideal for when you have multiple pets, pets that get
carsick or are very fearful of other dogs or strange environments,
geriatric pets and just about all cats. Our services include physical
exam, routine and preventive healthcare, vaccinations, drawing blood or
collecting other samples for diagnostic laboratory testing and inserting
microchips. Additionally, gentle and compassionate home euthanasia for
chronically ill pets is an option.
Beyond the basics, there are many common problems in veterinary
medicine that can be diagnosed and treated at home. Good examples of
this include: causes of itching and scratching; problems with the eyes,
ears or skin; mild to moderate arthritis; minor wounds or lacerations.
If warranted, we can provide transportation of the pet back to our
full-service veterinary clinic for additional diagnostics, such as
x-rays, ultrasound, endoscopy or surgery, or sedation for a
more-thorough exam.
We want to take the stress out of veterinary care
for both you AND your pet. If a house-call seems like the right choice
for your pet, give us a call! |
