Flea/tick medicine for dogs in Japan - are overseas brands ok to use here?

dearmisterecho wrote in expatsjapan May 19, 2013 23:23

I want to get some flea/tick prevention medicine for my mini-dachshund, and I would like to use the same brand I used on my dog back in the States.

I'm planning to move back to the US next year and I'm not too worried about shipping most of my stuff through the mail, but I am worried about my PC.

Hulu Japan

Has anyone tried Hulu Japan site? Is it worth it? I currently use a VPN to access the US Hulu site but I'd be willing to pay the 980/month if there are actually good tv shows and movies on the Japanese site.
