Thanks for passing this along.

Ugh -- this is a really big deal. Amazon is becoming such a cess pool with counterfeiting. I would bet it's happening with human supplements too.



It's starting to look like we need to be as careful ordering pet supplements as pet meds online -- VetVIPPS certified pharmacies that do not use "gray market" imported meds (only legitimately sourced) include ValleyVet.com, which has good prices on these Nutramax products.



Also, Dasuquin Advanced is a better product anyway, and only available through vets (RX), not online. It includes boswellia, curcumin, green tea extract, avocado/soy unsaponifiables, etc. I've seen pretty good results from it in several dogs (with NEM added).

Thank you so much for the alert!
We use this regularly for Rumo and it's made a big difference.

Thank you for the heads up. I just ordered some from Amazon so I will be looking for the red flags mentioned in the Business Wire link.

I hope you fair well with your order. Cosequin and Dasuquin aren't the cheapest supplement and it's a shame those who need these products and need a little price break from vet offices and high overhead pet stores can't trust other sources. I'm finding since Amazon has gotten so big and now is more of a middleman marketplace rather than the large self seller they used to be buying from them is getting sketchy.
