Details
PancrePlus is prescribed as a digestive aid and replacement therapy for those who have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). EPI makes it hard or impossible for the body to digest proteins, carbohydrates and fats because the pancreas isn't producing the enzymes it should. This powder should be added to regular meals to aid in normal digestion.
Proudly sourced directly from the manufacturer or their approved distributor. Guaranteed genuine and backed by the manufacturer.

Lifesaving, Chronic Med TRIPLES in Price
My dog was diagnosed with EPI in October of 2020. In addition to the instability of the pandemic at the time, spending thousands to determine the true cause of my dog's illness, and then food changes the cost of this medicine has almost tripled in the last 2.5 years. In October of 2020, it was $110. Now it's almost $300. This medicine is necessary for my dog to live and it's disgusting a company would increase the price so drastically with zero explanation. I've asked my vet for an alternative and he stated he was hesitant because this medicine was the most effective. I will be reaching out to the company directly.
Excessive price increase
Like so many others, I must look for an alternative to this medication/supplement that my German Shepherd needs for the rest of his life. We started using this in November of 2022 and paid $181.79 for the 12 oz. Now the price is $289.77 in January of 2023. I found an alternative on Chewy but do not know if it will work as well. I also reached out to the company: Neogen Corporation and inquired about their reasoning for such an excessive increase. I would encourage all of you dealing with this increase to send them an email so they are aware of the impact. If possible I will update if/when they respond.
costs are robbery
Yes this is the staple, “go to” product but the significant jump in price without any warning has left me, as a rescuer, scrambling to keep my rescued shepherd alive. He is a success story because of this product, and now it is priced outside of our budget. I’ve personally taken this dog from an ill 45 lbs to a healthy and happy 80 lbs, but is it fair to keep him up on this expensive product that has skyrocketed in costs overnight at the expensive of nine other rescued animals that need my financial support? This price jump has left me in a moral dilemma. I love this dog and he deserved to live a healthy life. There should be caps by the government on human and animal prescription products not to exceed more than a 15% price increase per year. That is humane.
Outrageous price increase!
I have had this on autoship for years for my EPI dog. The product has worked great, but the price just continues to rise! This last proce increase was just outrageous! Almost $100 more than the last time I ordered! This is necessary for some animals to digest and absorb the nutrients from their food. It's a necessity, but not many people can pay the insane price for it. I have been a faithful customer and spend hundreds of dollars with chewy every month, but I will be searching elsewhere for another enzyme with a realistic price.
Price increase
I can not believe how expensive this has gotten went from 120 to 188 to 289!! In less then a year shame on this company for making it in possible for ppl to afford the care there pet needs shame.
Chewy is toooo high
I just called my vet to see what they charge for a 12 oz bottle and they told me 172.00. It looks like Chewy is making quite a profit. I paid 172.00 the last tiime I ordered this with Chewy and now they are 289.00.
Price Increase is Outrageous
I had to find another brand that wasn’t so expensive. So sad the company that makes this powder is taking advantage of its customers. I found a different brand and was able to buy 2 12 oz bottles for the price of this one bottle . On a side note I love chewys and know this is not their fault because the price for this brand is the same on multiple different websites.
Price increase
Add me to the long list of people who can no longer afford this medication. I need to purchase a 12 oz bottle about every 40 days, and the price went from in the $180s to close to $300 from one month to the next. This powder is recommended by my dog's internal medicine specialist, but regardless of their recommendation I have to switch to another option due to the 60% increase.
Insane Price Increase
My dog was diagnosed with EPI a year and a half ago and in that time these enzymes have increase in price by nearly 300%. I understand inflation is driving up prices but this is absolutely insane. These work really well for my dog, but the price increase has forced me to look elsewhere for a more affordable alternative. Sad to see this brand take advantage of the fact these enzymes are a necessity for some animals to live.
price increase- double the price!!! beware!!!
My dog was diagnosed with pancreatitis last year and this medication has been life saving for her. She will need to be on it for the rest of her life and now they just increased the 12oz from 180 to almost 300!! I will have to find another option. Also this is on autopay. Chewy didn’t notify me that there was a change, thank GOD I caught it because I needed to change shipment date
