Hi Lynne It looks like Revival will ship ot of the US. You would have to call them for the rate. They also ship this item chilled. I found a site in canada that also carried the horse version, same stuff juts larger vial. I feell you should be able to get the smaller vial in Canada. It is listed as Equistim http://www.cdmv.com/CDMVhtml/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?item=2488
http://www.revivalanimal.com/ If you go subq I found insulin syringes work just fine. Junior hardly knows I gave him a shot.
