My dog has allergies. Can I get Apoquel without a vet visit?
Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Poor Kylo, that skin looks pretty uncomfortable! Unfortunately in order to prescribe medication we are legally required to have examined the animal to establish a “vet-client-patient relationship” so we cannot call in prescriptions with online consults. You will need to touch base with your regular vet to get Kylo’s medication.

Vet Q & A
My dog has severe grass allergies. Need affordable Apoquel options?
Poor Tank! Allergies can be so frustrating. There is another product that is a monthly injection called cytopoint. Sometimes this can be more economic then apoquel. You may want to ask your veterinarian about this product. You may also want to visit with your veterinarian about adjusting the apoquel dose. I have had many (not all) of my patients do fairly well at even half of the calculated dose. Best of luck and I hope you find a good solution soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.

My dog still scratches on Apoquel. Can I use OTC allergy meds?
Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! While apoquel is a great drug to stop scratching and to help atopic dermatitis it doesn't do anything in the face of a skin infection. Coco should be checked to see if she now has a yeast and or bacterial skin infection. There is also the option of doing an injection for scratching called cytopoint, which lasts 30-60 days (dog dependent). I would also consider adding Omega 3 fish oils and changing her diet to a non-chicken based novel protein diet (try venison, lamb, fish). Claritin, benadryl and zyrtec can be sued in dogs, see links below: https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/claritin/ https://www.vrshealth.com/canine-products/omegadog/ https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=15235

Vet Q & A
Dog's seasonal allergies: Should I use Apoquel or increase Prednicare?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Lily's allergies. I would highly advice that you consider Apoquel. This medication is very effective to decrease the itch and help with the clinical signs associated with allergies that you describe. The best thing about Apoquel besides its efficacy is that you can stop it at any point so you can consider using it just for the time being while she is affected by allergies the most. That is how I use it for my own dogs and they are going great. Good luck and have a nice day!

Vet Q & A
Apoquel isn't working for my dog's itchy paws & red eyes. Supplements?
In addition to the apoquel you can give omega 3 capsules, a total of 2000 mg daily. This will reduce inflammation and improve his coat also. Bathing in mild hypoallergenic shampoo weekly will help too. In addition keep him busy with toys and exercise as the more he licks his feet and rubs his eyes the worse it gets. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Tig.
