Sergeant makes them. Saw them in the treat aisle. They look a lot like the Petrodex/Sentry version. That makes it easier for most people to get them now!

I would not trust anything Sergeant makes for pets, since "they" have no conscience when it comes to killing cats with their flea products.

Sergent makes Petrodex now.

Here is where the confusion comes from:

Not necessarily, as long as they didn't change the formula... Companies buy brands all the time, and still keep the same manufacturing facility...
I will bet CET and Petrodex are the same thing, different brands for different markets for marketing reasons only... (so the most expensive CET, doesn't lose value)
I would buy the one on Walmart and save the $$$, now that I know they are both Virbac...

Yep, I had a feeling they wouldn't change.

About CET vs Petrodex -
A lot of companies create a brand for retail/mass market, for the exact same thing, but with a different name. This way they are protecting their Professional brand, in this case their veterinary brand, CET.
They can then sell the retail for much less without harm for the pro... It is done all the time...

The main difference I see on Petrodex, is that the chews are smaller - that is the kind of stuff they do to make it "different".
