What is Apoquel used for?

Dogs seem to scratch themselves a lot of the time and often there is a good reason for this. Itchiness, or to give it its medical term, pruritus, occurs due to a number of issues and could be as a result of allergies, infections or parasites.  The 4 types of allergies that dogs tend to suffer from are flea allergies, allergies to a specific type of food, contact allergies or inhalant allergies.

As dogs cannot be hidden away from the world, they cannot be totally protected from the allergies, but they can be treated once the symptoms start to show.

How is this medication given?

Once you have started to use Apoquel, there is no time limit to how long it could be used. It has to be administered twice a day regardless as to whether or not the condition is short term or what will be classed as chronic. After the first two weeks of treatment it is possible to reduce the treatment to one administration a day.
