Why has the price doubled in the past year?

I'm not sure but there is no good reason as the cost of manufacturing, goods, services and supplies have not doubled within the past year.

My guess is that the price is going up due to a shortage in supply. If you look now (Jan 2014) these chews are out of stock everywhere. I just got off the phone with the manufacturer, Virbac, who said they are on backorder for an "undetermined" amount of time because they are undergoing a "reformulation." They really had no idea when they might be back in stock, so if you can find these anywhere, I'm sure they'll be expensive. In the meantime, I ordered Enzadent brand chews hoping they'll be similar, but I haven't received them yet so I'm not sure. Hope this helps!

I've been watching the price for about 14 months. Late last year, I saw the price go to $489, but it was for a short time, only.

The last price before the "spike" to $450 was $215, which is the price I paid for it. I never saw it for $150 though, THAT would really have been an amazing deal. I think you just have to wait for the price to drop - nothing to do about it but wait (I waited for 2 months before buying it, because the price was too high, even at 260). All the best

I have no Idea, my supplier informs me that his price from the manufacturer/distributor has gone up for some reason.

In 2012, this exact item and qty was being sold on Amazon for $21.99. In 2013, I paid $19.59. In 2014 it has skyrocketed in price. Still a good deal at $46? Possibly, but something has changed either with the supplier or the demand for the product. Kills me to pay $46 for something when it was available for 1/2 the price previously.

Agreed. The price has risen by 50% - I kind of want to know why. Anyway, I won't be buying this one unless the price goes back down :(

I have no idea why the huge price increase, but I SURE AM HAPPY I bought mine in April, 2011, for $229.99. And, I am thrilled with its performance.Chuck

Its "The Season" to raise prices. Wait till the New Year and more reasonable prices will probably return,

Thanks so much for your inquiry. This item is sold out everywhere. That is why the price is higher than usual.

I'm wondering the same.... The prices all but doubled in the last 2 months? My last order I received was $27 for 24 cans of 5.5 oz Turkey now it's $49?

The quantity sometimes varies due to them being sold by weight and not numbers. this may be also to make us think we are getting the same for the price, but the price really did increase, we are just being deceived into thinking we are still pay the old price, just getting less now.

I can't believe the current price! I bought this unit about three years ago for $100 and now the price has more than tripled? What gives, Amazon?

I haven't tried but I'm also curious, the price hike is a little too much in my opinion.
