    Rant about Atopica

    Ok so our dog Pepper is on Atopica for her allergies and it makes life bearable for us all.  We were paying $85 for 15 pills.  Went to the vet today to get 2 more months supply, it's now $105 for 15!!!!  Just open the vein and let it pour!   That's $7 a pill!

    Can you get it cheaper online with a vet script?
    • Gold Top Dog
    Maybe.  I've never gotten scripts online.  Last time I checked 1-800-PetMeds, they couldn't ship script meds to Indiana.  I'll have to check around though.

    I know dr foster and smith has it depend on the dose it could be cheaper.
    • Gold Top Dog
    Ouch, nope they're not.  They charge $8.30 a pill.

    When I thought they might put Sassy on it, I was searching online and found it at several sites.  Dr's Fosters & Smith was one, I think petcarerx.com was another.  All you need is the vet to either write the script and give it to you and you mail it in, or some places allow the vet to fax the script in.  It can be much cheaper on almost every medication there is.

    Our vet is great I have to say..  petcarerx.com was $128 for the dose she gets.  So $105 isn't too bad.....  but still, it went up $20!  [:o]

      I found this site instead

    They are $147 for the dose we use....

    There's a site that has a price match guarantee that I might see if they'll beat the vet....

    Try www.bullwrinkle.com or try searching the med and see on the net.  Is there a generic version?
    • Gold Top Dog
    entirelypets.com has the price match guarantee, but so far every where else is a good $20 or more over the price the vet is selling it for.  The one generic I found is only $5 cheaper than what the vet is selling it for.....

    bullwrinkles the cheapest they found was $5 more than the vet.... bummer...

    There is a generic on drs foster and smith but here isn't much of difference in the price you are getting at you vet.  The generic is Cyclosporine.  And its 104.85 for 15, but if you by 30 or more you get like a discounted price.
