    Hi Everyone,
    I added a link to PharmacyChecker.com at the end of this thread in Health (scroll down on page 2 to see Barbara's post and mine).

    http://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=49608&p=542452#p542452

    Pharmacy Checker rates and reviews online pharmacies, including Canadian pharmacies. Many phony pharmacies have names that are very similar to legitimate pharmacies. Hope this helps.

    If you want to go directly to the ratings page in Pharmacy Checker without reading the Health Canada warnings that Barbara posted, here is the link:

    Hi Beth, I think you're safe. I did some browsing on the Pharmacy Checker site and found an article that says you can click on the Pharmacy Checker seal on a pharmacy's page and it will tell you what it's status is. So I clicked on the seal on canadianpharmacymeds.com's page and it does indeed look legitimate. Also, Pharmacy Checker does say that the list of "legitimate' pharmacies is a sampling. Canadian Pharmacy Meds is listed as an "affiliate" in the clickable info. in the Pharmacy Checker seal on the Canadian Pharmacy Meds page. I clicked on the Canadian verification seal, too, and it also indicated that yours is a legitimate pharmacy.

    But wow, this is a can of worms!!

    It's clear that this whole thing could be a big issue for us here, since so many of us order online from Canada. If you are really worried, I guess you could contact Pharmacy Checker and ask them.

    Thanks Ella, but I find it distressing that one cannot verify a pharmacy on the Checker website? On would think you should be able to put in the url and do a search?
