Both figures are for one treatment. Online packs hold several doses, so the pack price is divided by the number of doses. Online prices are from Pet Drugs Online. For prescription-only products you need a written prescription from your vet, capped at £21 from 2027, so the saving is worth having on a dear product and often not on a cheap one.
