Why is this so much cheaper than from vet? Is it a "knock-off or actual product?

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.

Hello, Santa Cruz Animal Health is a wholesale distributer. With this we can keep out prices lower than what you can buy it from the vet. The veterinarians have to mark their prices up in order to make money. I hope this answers your question. Thank you, Ashley

I imagine it is the same product from what I have been able to figure out . The difference probably is that you can only buy it through a veterinary office and you pay a premium price .. It means the vet examines the animal writes a prescription for the powder then turns around and sells it to you as it is prescription only in his office . It is a win win for him !! Now you know the powder works and next time you can buy it from amazon at a much lower cost to you and no need to go back to the vet if your pet has a reoccurrence of the same symptoms .

I believe it's real. I have a Great Dane and it works really well on him. When I bought it I compared the packaging to the major national pet store listings. They looked the exactly the same.

Hello, Please be assured that the product listed is not a counterfeit product. The item is $23.96 with Swanson Health Products. Unfortunately we do not have any information on why the item would be less expensive on Amazon. In order to find that information please contact the manufacturers. We hope this helps! Kally N

I really am not certain, having just received my first furminator. Seems real, has 4 long US patent numbers underneath the label. I would say it appears to be high quality and not a cheap knock off.

I've not seen any problems. It's seems to be working and the vials were all full. I accidentally got some on my finger and it had the same smell and feel as it's suppose to. So I believe it's a good product to use. Sorry yours didn't maybe you could ask your vet to compare it.

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

I bought this product from Amazon and it is the real thing. My vet actually told me where I could get it cheaper than he could sell it.

Hi Joel I'm not sure which ones are fake, if any. I just know that one that I purchased is great and works wonders on my dog.

No, it's not true. shame on your vet. My vet TOLD me to get her follow up dosages through the internet because it's cheaper. The vet just wants the markup.

I have ordered TNS through Amazon about 5 times. I use TNS every morning so it lasts me somewhere between 2.5 - 3 months. I've always gotten the real deal. I bought this product at the doctor's office before I found it on Amazon and save about $100 on it. That mark-up seems unreasonable to me. The product arrives looking exactly like what I get at the doctor's office. The packaging looks the same, the insert looks the same, the product looks, smells, and acts the same. I have also bought the product through different vendors on Amazon. I will continue to buy it on Amazon. I also read reviews written on Amazon. Someone caution against buying on Amazon out of concern that the product sold was expired. I looked all over the container when it arrived and there is no expiration date. I'm not sure the motive behind posting that stuff.

Packaging looks the same. Seems to be as effective. Please let me know if it isn't authentic.

I don't know if what I bought is counterfeit, but the package states it's to be used for hemorrhoids. I emailed the seller, she said her products are authentic, but the producer has to label it differently in the U.S. Something about the FDA. Honestly though, doesn't really work.

I would send it back and ask for a sealed one and in the meantime, if you have any farm supply stores around you or even a pet store, ask them if they carry this product or something similar to purchase until your product is delivered. When I run out I go to an agriculture farm supply store and I purchase a probiotic to give to my cats until I can get a refill of the NaturVet Enzymes in the mail.

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.

In my experience, no. My vet charged me $101. I was outraged, ordered the same product, for a little more than half that. I compared the two bottles. I read every line, every word. They were exactly the same. The receptionist told me to return the bottle, and go for the better value. If this were a knock- off, something, even something little would have to be different on the label.
