Apoquel for dogs: Vet explains the ins and outs of this prescription medication

Apoquel for dogs is a valuable treatment option for pups suffering from atopic dermatitis, as well as some cases of flea allergic dermatitis. It is one of several medications that a vet may reach for in an effort to provide relief for a pet with allergies. 

While many pet owners turn to the best dog food for allergies to try to alleviate their fur friend's symptoms, the majority of canine allergies are caused by environmental triggers. Therefore, diet alone is often insufficient for the treatment of allergies. Instead, veterinarians often recommend Apoquel and other allergy medications to treat skin allergies in dogs.
