witheverythingiam Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Just so everyone knows, Bayer has put new packaging on the Advantage products, and risen the price by 9% for their troubles. They've also raised the price on I think it's Advocate & Advantix also, by 6-8% - that price is BEFORE the wholesalers & retailers get them... Get set for a price rise next time at the Vets! -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witheverythingiam Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 Of course - but they will also still put their prices up, as they are not excluded from Bayer's price rise. -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavandra Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 You would think these products would come down in price since there are so many similar products all in competition to each other. They are already way out of many peoples reach as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Monster Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Maybe they think the pretty lettering will put the product in a league of it's own and be exempt from the competition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavandra Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Maybe they think the pretty lettering will put the product in a league of it's own and be exempt from the competition I wonder why no one brings out a cheaper version with no frills packaging, as has happened with various Worming & heartwormers...It would be a gold mine I reckon!

I'd say it's got something to do with a patent - ie no one can make something using same chemicals for certain amount of time? -WithEverythingIAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
