Yes you can. Ignore anyone that tells you otherwise. Frontline, Drontal and many more genuine treatments etc can be purchased online, at a fraction of the cost.
If all those with cats and/or dogs, were to buy them over the internet, then I'm sure it would force the vets to lower the prices they charge.
I have bought the two items mentioned, from a reputable source online. They are the 'real McCoy', don't let anyone tell you otherwise. One particular item I purchased was a POM (prescription only medicine), which I obtained from my vet, and posted to the company.
No P+P and delivery within 48 hours. I have saved over £50 just by using this website.

You can but them anywhere but if you want to get rid of the worms I would get it from the vet. I would bring a stool sample in so they dispense the right medication, there are different medications for different worms. Remember that worms are passed through the stool so you will need to pick up the pets stool after he goes until after the second worming, also if one of your pets have then chances are they all do. Some worms are very difficult to get rid of like whip worms they will infect your soil and you need to treat your yard before you will get rid of them.

I get all my pet meds on Ebay. My vet sells Frontline for £26 and I got it on Ebay for £5. You can also get Drontal which is a veterinary wormer. I got it for £3. This is probably the best wormer for your cat as is covers all types of worms. Just make sure you check the sellers feedback and you should be fine. They sell you the exact same thing as the vet, for much cheaper.

I get my Frontline and Drontal from an online vet. Completely legit. No P&P, delivered within 48 hours. Less than half what the vets charge. Paid less for Drontal for 3 years supply (given quarterly), than 1 dose/1 visit at the vets!

You can get dewormers from almost any pet store, however, if you do not know exactly what kind of worms your pet has you can harm them by treating them with the wrong meds. Most of the time its cheaper, easier, and safer in the long run to go with your vets reccomendations

It's best to get it from the vet because not all de-wormers work on all worms. You need to know what worms your cat has.

You can buy them from many other places - you'll notice they're a lot cheaper. This is because most are not as effective - petshops are not licensed to sell the drugs required for safe and effective wormers. Stick with vet stuff and you'll be safe!

Pets shops sell them but they are not as good as the one from the vets.
You don't need to see the vet to get wormers they sell them over the counter
