Just bought the Large Luxury Cozy Cave in Camel this week (12/15/14) for $49. Dogs love so much I need another. Why did the price just go from $49 to $98?

Hi. All our prices are in accordance with the manufacturer's minimum advertised price. Thank you.

I would agree with the other person who is suggesting supply and demand as the pricing goes. But also, smaller dogs are more likely to have the need for this type of bowl because they choke more easily on their food than a larger dog typically would.

Whoops! I missed it. The price is back up to $1137.99. Which is still cheaper than buying it direct. But you would think prices would DROP nearer to Christmas, not go up. Bummer.

I agree with everyone else. I use to buy this all the time here at Amazon. But now the price is $16.75 (I purchased it here for $10.96 in August). Other flavors are $12.00. Everywhere else the price is the same for each flavor. Seems Amazon takes the favorite flavor - #1 seller - and just keeps raising the price. At some point they will price it to the point where people will stop buying it then they will lower the price. Until that time, I'm not buying.

WHAT! Now they want $36+ AND $18+shipping? Are they crazy? This really stinks. I have to keep going and buying the smaller bag every 2 weeks at our local PetsMart..thanks a lot :P

Haha, happens to me too often. Now, I use camelcamelcamel (dot) com, they are basically a website that tracks prices. You can copy the url or address of the product page and copy and paste into this website and it tracks the amazon price jumps for up to a year or so, tells you when the best time to buy is and how low the item can actually go. Cheers!

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 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 older model, I don't know why they jacked up the price to $199. Just out of curiosity and do Amazon a favor, I went to Macy's and Kohl's bought the new one yesterday, at same price $199 (Kohl's gave $40 Kohl's cash for next purchase) and opened the box, it's exactly the same one as the one I have. I am not sure why the price went up, the ones from Macy's and Kohl's UPC code 050946745114 model KPRA. Maybe it's the old one after all lol

Why a $12/bag price increase??? I know food prices have gone up but a 27% increase is really way too much. Can you get the price back down or do I buy another brand?

Really good question and I have no idea. Further, the price has jumped ~100% since my purchase in late 2013. Something funny going on, for sure! Excellent question and insight!

It's the same product, that comes in three different colors. If you're referring to why different colors cost more or less, it's just supply and demand. These prices fluctuate weekly, daily even hourly. Check out camelcamelcamel.com and you'll see what I mean.

Gypsy and CJ, the price has already gone up several dollars since I bought it around a month ago. I considered it a very clear indicator that merchants want to get as much as they can from their stock (not limiting that remark to amazon). I also looked on other sites.. it was expensive there too, and now it is not appearing on most.

You reminded me to look again...it's only gotten worse. While I can get this in Aspen (yes, ASPEN...8,000ft in the mountains, 200mi from Denver, box canyon in winter, one of the highest land and labor cost zones in the country) for $3.80/jar, I now see that Amazon has one source selling it for $14.33/jar, including shipping--almost FOUR TIMES MY LOCAL PRICE? The wholesale price HAS to be under $2. That's over 600% markup. We should start selling this. To be fair, they also sell it for $6.66, which is ony 230% markup and 60% over what I can get it for locally...REALLY?

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!
