Why does the box say that it is only available through a vet and yet it is being sold here? While I would prefer to pay less by buying it directly rather than through the vet, it concerns me that the boxes specifically say it's only available through...

Thank you for contacting us. It use to be sold only through vets but it has become an over the counter item. We are owned by a licensed vet and we buy from the manufacturer.

I guess you'd have to contact the manufacturer. I've trusted it and have been very pleased with it. It was recommended to me by some very knowledgeable dog breeders and owners that I trust. I would be shocked, I guess, if this product were anything less than of the highest quality - I hope I'm right!!

You're right! I just checked Pet Edge and it's $124.99! PLUS!! If your purchase comes to $150.00, you get FREE SHIPPING!! I'd rather buy something else to bring my total up, rather than spend it on shipping... an it's STILL cheaper than this. How do the justify the high price? Thank you for the heads up, Carmen E. :)

My Vet told me to get this through Amazon since it is the same and costs less.

I hate when I can't given even a semi-informative answer. Years ago, I ordered a product that I could get only from the Czech Republic. It was for my dog, but I did human tests on myself first, hoping to learn whether or not it might hurt the canine. I'm sure the cataract care wouldn't hurt your dog, and, as our fine furry friends aren't eager to follow package direction, I think I'd try putting in his food. I hope the best for both of you!

Yes. I ordered from Petmedstore.com & my order came without a box. I'm NOT happy about it, either! I think that's irresponsible & will never order from that website again.

You are getting the same product as in the stores. It may have a damaged box ( more cosmetic than torn or ripped), or it may be short dated. Either way it is the same item but at a significantly lower price.

go to your local petstore or ask vet if you do buy one from this site beware and read all about the person you buy from

This is not a knock off, it is the actual Capstar. The only thing I can think of as to why you can find it so much cheaper online is because most online retail stores can generally work off much smaller margins that most Veterinarians do. We find most Veterinarians will mark up products anywhere from 100-300%. Online retailers margins are usually much lower than that.

I agree. This price increase is ridiculous. The front desk at my vet told me the company was bought out. They actually stopped delivering them to market until they could update the packaging. I wonder if the price increase is due to short supply. Whatever the reason, I can't afford double the price.

The fine print says you have to purchase from a vet and provide a reciept. The vets charge in the $80's instead $50 so Amazon is cheaper anyway.

At the advice of Amazon.com I contacted the manufacturer. This was their response:"To reiterate. . .Dasuquin is available only from your veterinarian. The online retailers that may carry Dasuquin do not purchase directly from Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. or our authorized veterinary distributors. We are aware that Dasuquin is online and there are veterinarians who are purchasing from us and selling to those online companies; we are constantly working to correct this situation. "

"available only from your vet" and "available only by prescription" are two completely different things...

As a vegetarian, I never thought to ask that question. Ugh. That said, this is probably the best on the market and I would recommend it for sure. I guess you could email the seller and ask but I just assumed that the iodine came from the crystal form after watching videos on youtube. Let me know if you find out otherwise. There are other ones on this market that I have purchased and they are not what they say they are. Based on the strength of this, I would say it is the real deal. Remember, 2 and 5% is legit. For 7%, you need a 'script I think in all states so it can't be sold on the open market. Just saying when you are looking around. As a vegetarian, I never thought to ask that question. Ugh.

You are so correct. I realised it after I bought it. In fact, most of the ingredients in it are nothing but junk. You have no idea how pissed I was that deceptive labeling trying to push chemicals and preservation. I did some research and found a website www.onlynaturalpet.com. customer service 888-937-6677. They sell a product called Only Natural Super Daily Canine multi-vitamins item #999010. 270 tablets for $31.99. This is why in cases like these I'm very suspicious and cautious of anything that's made in the USA. One must really research...Its great to see that other people are becoming aware of deceptive labeling not just for our pets but for our food also. I hope this info helps.

I think it is the same since most of the on-line pet product sites do require a veterinary prescription, but a few do not. The bottle seems to be identical to the manufacturers one disp0layed on the manufacturers web site.
