PMV’s Annual K9 Prevention Package is cheaper than monthly chews if your dog is under 30.9 kg—A transparent comparison.
It includes Bravecto Quantum, ProHeart SR-12, a year of intestinal worming, a health check and C5 vaccination, discounted together to encourage our most robust preventive health regime, covering all the major parasites.
Why do I recommend it?
My own dog, Reggie, required hospitalisation for tick paralysis just days after her prevention was due. Her next treatment was already purchased—and in transit. An embarrassing and humbling experience as a veterinarian, but a reminder – parasites aren’t here to f*ck spiders.
A missed dose, a tablet spat out unnoticed or a delayed delivery can leave a gap. Annual injections remove those monthly administration risks for potentially fatal tick paralysis and heartworm disease. There’s no injection for intestinal worms yet but give it time.
One visit. One year sorted. Regular tick checks remain essential.
The monthly comparison includes NexGard Spectra, three-monthly Milbemax for tapeworm, and the same check-up and vaccination. Shock horror, “all-in-one” doesn’t mean every worm.
Above 30.9 kg, PMV can’t compete on price but still wins on convenience and peace of mind.
*GST included. NexGard Spectra 6-pack prices: Petbarn online non-member listings, 29.10.2026. Calculations use minimum whole chews/tablets for each PMV bracket’s maximum weight; product weight bands differ. Your dog’s exact weight and individual requirements may change costs.
