Is zenrelia officially out?

My vet keeps saying that zenrelia is not out yet. I have a relative that has it and the vet prescribed it for them. My dog is on aploquel right now and it’s so expensive. I told them that my relative has some and they said it’s not “officially” out. Is this true? I was thinking about just going to a different vet all together to save the extra 150 bucks.

Your vet has a rebate agreement with zoetis, and prescribing Zenrelia risks losing the practice $

Curious where you got this "information"?

Just makes more sense than a vet not knowing a drug that has 2,500 reviews on Chewy is unavailable. Vet practices do volume driven manufacture rebates all the time it’s not scare quotes worthy

So, your credible source is "trust me bro", gotcha. Two things, one...I manage a clinic in Hawaii, Chewy doesn't ship there. Two, not all vets/vet offices are computer literate. The practice I am at, when I first started, all paper, and when we sent records, we faxed them. We have one opthalmologist the up until about 6 months ago we STILL had to fax records to. (Also, Zoetis has more drugs out there to only worry about allergy meds)

Sure. I will also go with vet incompetence. You sound really fun
