Rip off - flea and tick products not arriving
I ordered a very expensive order In August 2020 and was told it would arrive in 7-10 days. It did not. It has not. It is Spetember 18, 2020 today. I paid quite a bit of money for these products because my pets needed them. I am on a fixed income and have no money to order other meds right now.
All they said was that it was shipped via Canadian and US postal service and that they will not give me a tracking number. I want my money back. How can a company ship something and keep not records of it to track where it is or where it went? I want my money back so I can get flea and tick meds for my pets.
revolution anti-flea medication for cats
They charged me $124.63 CAD, of which $7.91 CAD was for shipping and handling. Now that I got the item, I see that the declared customs value is $70 AUD, and on the CBSA form it was calculated as $68.31. Not only I was overcharged by them in almost double the price, I ended up paying $18.15 CAD in import fee, meaning your overcharging did not even include pre-collection of taxes.
Contacted the customer service, they blamed postal strikes and said "As far as the declared value, unfortunately, we don't have the resources to change the amount so we receive the pre-printed stickers with that amount on them from our couriers." PRE-PRINTED STICKERS THAT THEY CAN'T CHANGE... such nonesense. I have photos of my receipts, the packaging and the customs form + the email, if anyone needs proof.
Canadians beware, this operation has only a P.O box and sells to Canadian customers out of Australia, and lies to customers and the customs agencies and revenue agencies of both Canada and Australia in terms of the money they collect from customers.

custom duties
After reviewing their advertising about such great prices, I ordered revolution which they were selling at the same price as my vet (without the vet fees for a visit). Thought it was great until I received the package with an amount due for custom duties.
I was shocked.
After complaining they advised that they mentioned this on their site. Didn't see it.
Very disappointed. Now I know why it took so long to get it. It came from Germany.
Should have read the reviews.
valuheart heartworm tablets for large dogs
An order I made almost 3 months ago never arrived. I've contacted customer service several times for a refund and they said that because the product was not properly delivered and is being sent back to their warehouse and cannot issue a refund until it arrives. I don't see how this is my problem. A month goes by and still no refund, contacted customer service again to get the same runaround. Will probably never receive a refund. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS WEBSITE.
Same happened to me. They should have to give tracking numbers.
tick medication
Paid $100 for tick medication from what I thought was a canadian vet supply distribution company. After consecutive messages over a two week period i find out that this company in fact ships from Australia and i can expect to wait over 30 days for my product to arrive. It hasn't arrived. I haven't been reimbursed for my loss of hard earned money. Sounds like something the better business bureau would be interested in.
revolution cat: takes much longer than advertised to receive it and much more expensive than from australia!
I ordered Revolution from them and it was supposed to take 10 days. It has been 16 days and I haven't received it yet. I was tired of waiting, so I ordered some from Australia and 4 days later it was there with free shipping and the Revolution was much cheaper too!
I emailed them and was informed that it'll take 28 days now! Not what was advertised, and if they had told me it takes 28 days I wouldn't have bought anything from them. Karen.
flea medication
I ordered flea meds from my pet believing I was ordering from Canada or possibly US because I was billed in USD. My order arrived and it came from Germany, was damaged badly and I had to pay a $19.11 customs bill!
It does not state on their website anything about customs or that it may come from another country, unless they updated since I spoke with customer service.
They said if I want a refund I have to pay return shipping to AUSTRALIA! That is outrageous. The package came from Germany.
This is not a matter of mind change or no longer needed. It is a matter of damaged product. The customs fees was just an added kick in the gut!
I reported them to PayPal.
selling meds illegal to import. you won't get it.
I ordered from canadavet because I thought it was being sent from canada. On their webpage it says they are located in vancouver, bc. I am in vancouver, bc so I thought it would arrive in a few days because that's how long mail takes here. After waiting a month I called and asked why I hadn't received it. They are just drop shippers. They take your money then order from a company over seas and it takes months to arrive. They did not mention this when ordering. I could order it myself from overseas for less. I chose a canadian company so i'd get it quickly.
So after waiting months because it's too late to cancel I receive a letter from canada customs that I tried to import illegal drugs that aren't allowed to be shipped to canada unless you are a vet or pharmacist. The letter said my package was refused entry. I called canada vet and asked why they are selling products that aren't allowed to be shipped to canada and they literally said "customs doesn't check every package, they only spot check so a lot of packages still arrive. A lot of customers still get their package. There is just a chance they will catch it"! Seriously? You are ordering illegal drugs in my name (Like I said they are drop shippers, they take your money then order it cheap from an international company using your name and address so the blame goes on you) and they say it might not get caught! Just because you might not get caught doesn't make it okay. I can try to smuggle cocaine across the border and I also "might not get caught"! It is illegal to order these products overseas and they are well aware of it.
Don't waste your time and money waiting for a shipment that, if caught, will be refused entry into canada. This company needs to be shut down for it's illegal activity.

liars, unreliable, fake
I ordered meds over 3 weeks ago and nothing. I called and they said it may be held at the border! BS! Why would your freight be held at the border if what you do for a living is sell meds and apparently sell them for years!?!?
Also this cannot possibly be a CANADIAN company! When I called the Customer Service agent said OREGON when he saw my address Barrie, ON. If you're Canadian you would immediately say Ontario not Oregon! The Vancouver address is just a front. If you love your pet then don't buy anything from this company
de-worming drug
I recently purchased Drontol from this company and it made my dog puke for a couple days and now she doesn't want to eat her her anymore because she thinks that's what caused it. It really sucked, my girlfriend wasn't even pissed, she just started crying at the fact that i fed her something from a company so sketchy like this. Shame on you canadavet.com, just pull the plug on your business because you're breaking peoples hearts. I don't know if it was expired but whatever i gave it to my dog the day we got it and yeah, so upset with this company. To the person who seems to think they should defend this company because you work for them at the desk doesn't realize the practises they do in the warehouse behind the office and should stop defending this company. Stop calling your company canadavet.com if you're based out of Australia! Karma will get you.

service
Purchased Advantage Flea medicine. Payment went through my account immediately. It has now been two weeks and no product, no return email and when I called they just keep saying "Oh its been mailed"... Delivery time and customer service is awful. My poor dog is so sad. We had to go out and but it at the pet store which cost double the price . So cheaper IS NOT always better. B uyer beware.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Can anyone tell me of a RELIABLE source in Canada where I can order my pet medications that are normally only issued by prescription in the States? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
CanadaVet.com makes every effort to look as if they are based in Canada - but they are not. They are based in Australia and owned by Ani Welf Int Pty Ltd. Shipment take over a month to arrive in North America, if they arrive at all. When asked directly, via email, they repeatedly stated they were based in Canada. They are liars.
It is strongly recommended that you never purchase anything from their canadavet.com website.
shipping
I ordered flea and heart worm medication for my dog Feb 2, 2012 after seeing the great prices I referred 2 friends who spent over $100 as well. The website says it takes up to 11 business days max but I did not receive my merchandise until March 12, 2012.
When I called to check on my order after 16 business days had past they gave me the run around and said they don't know what's the hold up because the order was shipped. I asked to speak with management and the lady said she could put a memo in with the dispensary and they would call me ASAP. 2 days later i receive and email confirming my order had just been shipped? I never heard from management so I called again to complain. Same run around.
Since I live in an over crowded area it is essential that my dog is treated...but since the shipping took a month and a half my dog got a bad infestation of fleas.
Canadavet.com if you would have been a little more considerate of my concern I would not be as upset with the delay but since you cared the least of this problem I will never refer you again.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Product never arrives
I have ordered from this company since 2008 and every order has takes longer and longer to get to my house. I ordered Valueheart and Revolution on 8/24/11. It is almost 2 months later and the company will not respond to repeated emails and the phone just rings and rings... I would never buy from them again!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I, too, ordered from CanadaVet.com for years with no problems. A couple of years ago, apparently, they lost their domain name to another company calling themselves CanadaVet. They then changed their domain name to CanaCreek, which is why they had our billing and shipping info on file. I did notice that shipments began to take months, not weeks, but always received the original or replacement shipment. I wanted to place an order last week, and saw that the site is now closed. Interestingly, today I received an email from a company claiming to be Canacreek. It was a reminder to order EXACTLY what I usually order from them, and even reminded me of the EXACT date of my last purchase. My father is a State Consumer Affairs Officer, and I'm going to forward the info to him to investigate. I'll post what I find out.
Canadavet posted that there is no relationship between Cancreek and Canadavet. I dealt with Canadavet for nearly 5 years. In 2010 the product invoices began to state Canacreek rather than CanadaVet. My account number remained the same and my credit card number was still on file.
Can canadavet explain this?
Order placed 10/4/11 still not received as of 12/14/11. Phone is on hold forever. Website is down
Please note, canacreek.com is in no way connected with Canadavet.com. Unfortunately many customers are reporting that they have problems with canacreek.com and that orders are not received and calls not taken. Some have also reported that Canacreek claims to be Canadavet or associated with Canadavet in some way. This is simply not true. Avoid canacreek.com and if you have had problems with them, please advise your credit card company immediately.
i have
i ordered from this scam company on august 8th 2011 still nothing as of october 23rd 2011.DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM
order never received
Ordered product on 12/24/10, not received as of 1/21/11. Tried to call to cancel order but held on phone for 17 min., yes 17 min. according to my phone timer. Never got to speak to anyone. Their website says orders should arrive in 5 to 7 days, not 30 days.
Sent e-mail about order, no response. Buried in their website it says that some orders come from Australia and may take up to 28 days. I have disputed the charge with my credit card company. Do NOT order from this company.
Please note, CanadaVet.com is not associated with CanadaVetCare, Canacreek or any other website with a similar name and is not based in Alabama. Unfortunately some websites are pretending to be CanadaVet or telling customers that they are in some way associated with CanadaVet. There are many complaints about these websites failing to deliver or failing to answer emails and phone calls. Please avoid these websites. CanadaVet.com never sells out of date product and always tries to resolve customers problems. If you ever have a concern you can contact info@canadavet.com or call our call centre which is located in Vancouver, BC and open 7 days a week.
liars
Hi, I recently purchase some worm and flea medication from a company called
www.CanadaVet.com . When I receive my medication I noticed that on the vial
that they had sent me a medication that was way past the expiry date. I
phoned up CanadaVet.com and they said that the have government
authorization to sell out of date medication. At this point I was a bit
alarm, but they assured me that it was all okay. So being the fool that I
am I used their medication and next thing I knew my Dog started shivering
and developed a Concussion. He had problem eating and threw up for days. I
brought him to my vet and was told that this company may have sold me
counterfiet medications. I am fell I am ripped off and have placed my pet
in grave danger. Never Buy from this Company (CanadaVet.com) they are
liars.

Q paid with PayPal but never received order. It was for heart worm meds. Cost was $231.15. Was to be sent to. Mary Montrose. 201 Poplar St. Barnesville Georgia. 30204. Please refund my payment through PayPal. Thank you mlmontrose@charter.net. [protected]. The date was 12\29\2022
TOTAL SCAM! They are not even in Canada! I would have never ordered if I knew they were shipping from halfway around the world!
Over two months and order never showed up. No response from this pack of thieves. Stay away.
I just had to pay extra for duties and handling... why are you using the canada vet name the you are not shipping for here?
What a scam!
In the past two years I have ordered and received (in a reasonable amt of time and well within the exp. date.) over $700 worth of revolution for cats from CanadaVet.com.
We have a lot of cats. The savings are great. We are pretty much flea free. Our fencing doesn't let our cats out but other animals can get in. We have the rare stray cat, possum or raccoon come through the yard so we will never be totally free of fleas. Regular vet visits show no worms of any kind. I think some of these reviewers have unrealistic expectations. I am sure CanadaVet.com isn't perfect but we have saved over a thousand dollars so far. That's a lot of cat food.
On June 21 I ordered Nextguard Spectra. I wanted a six month supply, so based on the picture (which shows three chews per box, I ordered 2 boxes. What I received was two boxes with a single chew. called r customer service and spent 18 MINUTES waiting while she tried to find my account, couldn’t find my account, told me she could not give me a refund, that she did not have the authority and she didn’t have the authority to put me through to someone who had the authority
I spent 50.22 on two chews (25.11 each). A random vet survey found an average price of 57.24 for a 3 pack. RIPOFF!
Oh! That best price guarantee? Don’t bother trying to collect on that

@Fred
Dude, LOL! Your dog can't get a concussion from medication, that's caused by a blow to the head and you should change that because it makes you look like what you're calling them. Sometimes if you use cheap flea/tick prevention that can cause a pet to get sick. And people can get those at WalMart or Target, or the dollar store, so why bother ordering them online? (If that's what you used. Specify what you used, that would be helpful.) I've never received any expired medication from Canada Vet and I've ordered maybe 5 times or so. If you did, you should take some pictures and post them. Honestly, I don't know how you'd prove that you didn't allow that product to expire yourself, though, and just blame them.
They do take a LONG time (I'm in Texas) but they're in Australia (not Canada...they should really change the name, it's misleading) for shipping but I've never paid a lot of money for shipping with them, if any. Many times it's been free shipping because I try to take advantage of any sales or specials or use online coupons when I can. Or over a certain amount is usually free shipping with them. And they use snail mail, so...remember that! If people want to buy products such as heartworm prevention (only recommended for dogs if you've had them on heartworm prevention EVERY MONTH and it was originally prescribed by your vet) that they can't get here at lower prices or can't get without a prescription and trip to the vet, then just buy from your vet and get instant gratification, or use a company based in your country that you can send in the prescription for and get the medication that way.
My vet won't write out prescriptions unless they're antibiotics (that I need to take to a regular pharmacy) because he said he didn't want me to order anywhere else. He said he didn't trust the products from Europe and Canada, and, well, I'm sure deep down he wanted the money in his pocket, honestly. He has a vet clinic to pay for and has expenses, I understand that. I do take my dogs in once a year for a HW test to a low cost spay/neuter/vaccination clinic and they've, thankfully, been HW free with the products I've used from CanadaVet so I still use them. And many rescues I foster for also use companies like this and order from the UK or Australia because they need to cut costs anywhere they can.
SO, folks, don't order last minute because you're not going to get your products very fast, since they're coming from Australia. And be sure to do your homework about the products you're using on your pet. I'm using only products that I've used that were once prescribed by the vet and I just got tired of paying the heavy prices at their office. I'd rather have a reserve and order in advance and just know that it could be about a month for receipt. If you want them faster, maybe you can pay for expedited shipping? I don't know, I never checked for that option, I always use the least expensive or free shipping option because I have 2 dogs and 3 cats, I have to save money anywhere I can. Paying more for shipping would defeat the purpose of me ordering online for cheaper medications/preventions, I may as well pay more at the vet if I do that, in my opinion.
I have been told by my vet that the Nexgard that CanadaVet sells is fake. They are investigating and I am trying to get my money back. Caveat emptor Be sure what you are buying is the real deal .
If you don't mind me asking, how did your vet know it was fake product? Just curious, if we know what to look for on the fake products we can check our products we've ordered. I've been told by every vet that the products sold online are fake. I began to order online from Canada Vet and other overseas suppliers because I foster dogs and every single rescue I've fostered for has ordered generic heartworm prevention and lower cost flea and tick prevention from online companies to save money. So I began to do the same. My vet didn't like that, he said he wouldn't write a prescription because the products sold online are fake. Several other vets in over 10 years have told me the same. However, thankfully, what the rescues use (at least for hw prevention) that's been ordered overseas by them and me and used on our dogs and cats has worked. For years I've ordered generic hw prevention online and I get my dogs heartworm tested at a low cost clinic every year (just in case) and thank God they've remained heartworm free. And that's been about 10 years or so now. I can understand that there are some fake products out there and vets don't want to take that liability. And, truthfully, they have businesses to run and this hits them in the pocketbooks. And, believe me, living in Texas there are many, many mosquitos and a huge chance of a pet getting heartworms if a product didn't work, so we would know it, because the dogs are checked every year for heartworms. Just to be safe. And if it didn't work then they'd have them, for sure. Mosquitos can't be avoided here.
The written word can be read in many tones, please don't take mine as confrontational. I'm just sharing my own experience so far. And if you can share with us what led them to believe, or let them know that the product was fake, it would be greatly appreciated. I'll check mine and let the rescues know what to check on their Nexgard as well.
was a little worried when I read some of the complaints however, I received the order in 20 days, no extra duties, no extra delivery charge. The product was exactly what I ordered and the best before date is 2020. No complaints at all. The price in Canadian funds was identical to American so I figure I saved 30% Very pleased and yes, I would use again.
Note for Canadians that heartworm meds and many other wormers are on the list of 'precription' meds controlled by the gov't. Customs can and often do stop and inspect these shipments to ensure it meets regulations. *YOU* as the BUYER are considered the "importer" and the two issues you will come up against are:
1 - you may not import more than a 3month supply at at time. (so forget about buying a 6-pack monthly treatment...)
2 - EITHER the medication must be in a form not suitable for human use (pills and topical ointments DO NOT meet this requirement)
-OR- the retail packaging must be BILINGUAL and clearly state for animal use only (Canadavet.com website clearly states that all packages are ENGLISH only)
Therefore it is my opinion that it is too risky (i.e. you risk losing your money) to buy through them. If Canada Customs happens to pick your package randomly to inspect (or otherwise if they are looking for this company's similar packaging), they will likely seize it. And Canadavet.com clearly states on the website that YOU are responsible for meeting legal import requirements (rightly so). I highly doubt Caadavet gives any refund in such case.
