I adopted my Yorkie rescue girl knowing she had Addison's Disease. Zycortal injections have been keeping her feeling good and looking wonderful! Each month, her vet does bloodwork to test her electrolyte levels and adjusts the dosage accordingly. Chewy's pharmacy service and pricing have been the best!
Chewy is exploiting the global supply chain issues and ratcheting up the price of Percorten-V and Zycortal. This medication was $161.02 at our last auto ship on 9/3/21. Two months later they’re charging $214.69 on auto ship or $225.99 one time. This is a 25% increase (exactly, I might add) in less than months. Consumers are protected from price gouging during emergency/disaster declarations, say for example a global pandemic. This price increase is 100% illegal and I am filling a complaint with my state’s attorney general’s office. https://www.ncsl.org/research/financial-services-and-commerce/price-gouging-state-statutes.aspx Please do not support Chewy’s illegal activities here. Don’t let them exploit your pet’s medical needs. Buy Zycortal from a seller who seems to have a conscience, for example petvm.com https://petvm.com/hormonal-endocrine/408-zycortal-suspension-25-mgml-4-ml.html?search_query=Zycortal+Suspension+25+mg%2Fml+4+ml&results=4
This product is essential for my dog to survive! I prefer Percorten, but it has been out of stock and is out of stock everywhere else. This still gets the job done; however, the price shot WAY up (hence the 4 stars)! I'm not sure if there is a shortage or something, but I'm hoping it goes back down or doesn't continue to increase!
Wonderful service, from finding an alternative brand of the same medication after my dog’s regular brand was out of stock, to helping me get her new prescription to them, and then quick delivery.
I do not know what to do now that the price has increased :(
This medication is essential to my dog’s survival and Chewy used to have the best price but unfortunately the price has gone up 50%.
This is something my dog needs the rest of his life and it has done wonders for him. Unfortunately the cost with Chewy is more than other companies now so I will have to order elsewhere :(
This medication is essential for my pup and Chewy currently has the best price! I'm very pleased with the excellent customer service Chewy provided me in getting this medication into my hands ASAP! Autumn, one of the pharmacy managers, was very understanding, friendly, and compassionate. She also helped speed the delivery process along as well. I truly appreciate Chewy's wonderful assistance! THANK YOU!!!
My pup needs this monthly, the vets office charges triple this price. I'm so happy to be able to get at a lower price, and fast shipping.
This medication is necessary to keep my sweet baby alive. and Cheweys has the best price
