Verdict
PetMeds and CanineP4.com both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of CanineP4.com's written reviews are positive against 30% of PetMeds's. CanineP4.com also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). PetMeds's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (14K vs 258). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
