Reply from QV concerning new holograms!
Just thought I might pass along some insightful info concerning the newer holograms with the v-slits vs. the older ones which leave dots when pealed off. Appearantly the newer batches have the opposing v-slits, and DO NOT have to leave dots behind to be legit. Although I have seen a few of the newer v-slit holos that do leave dots behind, this does not mean it is fake. I also like how they gave me the spew about how it is that QV products are available in the USA. Check it out:
In response to your inquiries, we want to inform you that due to
availability matters with our supplier, we had to change the type of
hologram we were using then. The one we presently have is the one that has
two opposing "V" slits. It is important to mention that it does not leave
dots when peeled off.
In relation to the sesame oil that is used to fill the bottles, it is
stabilized, so it cannot go rancid, which makes inexplicable the change of
smell. However, we will take the proper measurements to detect it.
The tests applied in live animals have not showed any secondary reactions,
so you can safely use it in your animals.
Unfortunately, we are living very hard times in which people without honesty
and decency are manufacturing a great quantity of fake products, such as
cd's, liquours, perfumes, clothes and now pharmaceutical products. We have
received pictures of our products roughly falsified. Since the hologram
cannot be repeated by anybody because it is a trademark, it looks much more
different than ours, but the box looks identical. We are now starting to
make the flip off caps marked with the QV logo and will soon our bottles
will also be marked with Qv.
On the other hand, there is something that greatly calls our attention:
How can it be that our products are in the U.S.A.? as our company do not
export them there, because it is not permited. We would like to warn you
for the following reasons:
1. our company does not export
2. The products can be counterfeited
3. The products could be illegally introduced to the U.S.A.
In addition to the above, these situations could represent a problem for
you.
Our recommendation would be that you use the products manufactured in the
U.S.A from an American Laboratory, since our sales are only in Mexico
through Veterinarians and Vet Pharmacies.
We hope you find the above useful.
Sincerely,
Quality Vet.
