Are Frontline Plus "KITS" A Waste Of Your Time

IN RECENT MONTHS THERE SEEMS TO BE AN ONSLAUGHT OF SELLERS' SHOWING PICTURES OF FRONTLINE PLUS BOXES AND IN THE CORNER OF THESE BOXES IS A TINY BOTTLE , SYRINGE AND TUBE OF FRONTLINE PLUS. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN IN REALITY. BEFORE WE GET STARTED LET ME QUALIFY MYSELF AS ONE WHO HAS EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER TO BE DISCUSSED BELOW. I HAVE PURCHASED SEVERAL OF THESE "KITS" AND HAVE GONE TO GREAT LENGTHS TOTHE CLAIMS MADE IN THE LISTINGS TO THE TEST. BY REGULAR PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF. THE FIRST CLAIM IS THAT THESE KITS PROVIDE FOR 6 FULL DOSES FOR SMALL DOGS OR 8 FULL DOSES FOR CATS. tHE SYRINGE AND INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED INSTRUCT THE BUYER TO EMPTY THE CONTENTS OF THE LARGE DOG PIPETTE INTO THE STORAGE VIAL AND THEN, USING THE PROVIDED SYRINGE, DRAW 0.5 CC'S FOR CATS OR .67 CC'S FOR SMALL DOGS INTO THE SYRINGE. ONCE YOU HAVE THE SYRINGE AT THE .50 OR .67 MARK YOU REMOVE THE SYRINGE AND TREAT YOUR PET WITH THE MEDS. YOU DO THIS EACH MONTH AND WHEN YOU GET TO THE 6 TH MONTH FOR SMALL DOGS AND THE 7TH MONTH FOR THE CAT KITS YOU SUDDENLY FIND OUT THERE ISN'T ENOUGH LEFT. WHY? YOU ASK YOURSELF! YOU WERE VERY CAREFUL EACH MONTH TO MEASURE THE DOSE CORRECTLY AS INDICATED IN THE INSTRUCTIONS. THEN WHAT HAPPENED? WHY DID I RUN OUT OF PRODUCT? WE WILL ANSWER THIS QUESTION LATER!
GRANTED, THESE "KITS" ARE "INEXPENSIVE" BUT IN REALITY JUST HOW INEXPENSIVE ARE THEY. TIME IS A PRECIOUS geMODITY AND IN THESE DAYS IN OFTEN HARD TO FIND. IF YOUR REALLY GOOD WITH THESE "KITS" IT TAKES 7 MINUTES TO TAKE THE "KIT" OUT OPEN THE STORAGE BOTTLE AND DRAW THE DOSE ACCURATELY INTO THE SYRINGE CLOSE THE BOTTLE(SO IT WON'T SPILL THE REMAINING DOSES) AND THEN TREAT YOUR PET WITH THE SAME DIRTY SYRINGE YOU USED THE MONTH BEFORE AND THEN PUT THE SYRINGE BACK IN THE "KIT" BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE IT. AND THEN PUT THE "KIT" AWAY UNTIL THE NEXT MONTH.
7 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME X 6 (REALLY 5) DOSES EQUALS 35 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME GONE PLUS YOUR LAST DOSE IS GONE TOO IN THE CASE OF THE SMALL DOG "KITS" NOW WITH THE CAT "KITS" IT IS 8 (BUT AGAIN REALLY 6 AND POSSIBLY 7) SO WELL USE 7 FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. 7 DOSES TIMES 7 MINUTES IS 49 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME NOW WASTED.
WE HAVE TWO FIGURES ONE 35 MINUTES AND THE OTHER 49 MINUTES.HOW MUCH IS YOUR TIME WORTH TO YOU? EVEN AT $15.00 PER HOUR YOU'VE WASTED $12.00 OF YOUR TIME ON THE CAT "KIT" AND $8.00 OF YOUR TIME ON THE DOG "KIT" AND IN BOTH CASES YOUR OUT YOUR LAST DOSE TOO!
LETS SAY FOR EXAMPLE YOU PAID $18.00 FOR THE "KIT" 6 DOSES 3 DOLLARS PER DOSE. YOUVE LOST THE LAST DOSE SO YOUR OUT $3.00 PLUS THE TIME VALUE OF $8.00 SO THE TOTAL LOSS FOR THE DOG "KITS" IS $11.00. THE CAT "KITS" CLAIM TO HAVE 8 DOSES SO THAT geES OUT TO $2.25 PER DOSE. FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT WELL SAY YOU DID GET 7 DOSES NOT 6 AND A HALF. THE 7 DOSES geES OUT TO $15.75. YOU'VE LOST $2.25 PLUS THE TIME VALUE OF $12.00 FOR A TOTAL OF $14.25. IN THE CASE OF THE DOG "KIT" IT ACTUALLY COST YOU $29.00 FOR ONLY 5 DOSES. IN THE CASE OF THE CAT "KITS" IT COST YOU $32.25 FOR 7 DOSES. BOTTOM LINE IS THE $3.00 COST PER DOSE FOR THE DOG "KIT" IS REALLY $5.80 PER DOSE AND YOU STILL HAVE TO BUY THE 6TH DOSE FOR A TOTAL OF $34.80 PLUS SHIPPING
