Flea/tick preventative needed for clinics

We are in the midst of scheduling our 2011 spay/neuter clinics. I will let you know once the dates have been set.

One of our needs is to buy and/or get donations of flea/tick preventative. As many of you know, at our Spring clinics the animals are covered in ticks, and many of them have fleas, as well. Frontline (manufactured by Merial) is the best for treating/preventing ticks and fleas.

Would anyone be interested in searching out the best price for volume -- we need a minimum of 500 doses in various weight sizes. Frontline is expensive, and we rarely receive donations of it, and I don't know whether or not there are any deals to be had. If someone has the time to call the manufacturer and do any other sleuthing to find out what we have to spend, and where it would be optimal to buy it, we would appreciate it.

Thanks,
