Apoquel is a powerful, anti allergic treatment for pruritis associated with allergic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis in dogs. It also helps in the itching associated with food allergies in canines. Apoquel is a fast acting anti-inflammatory treatment that starts working within 4 hours of its administration. It also removes complete itching within 24 hours. Dogs that are over 12 months of age and weigh more than 6.6 lbs can be successfully treated with Apoquel.
How Does It Work?
Apoquel is a highly effective treatment for eliminating allergic reaction in dogs. Oclacitinib maleate,the active ingredient in the product gets readily absorbed by the body and starts acting in few hours to provide relief.

Great product!
I always keep Apoquel at my home as my pooch is allergic to many things. I really like the fact that it starts treating the allergy within few hours of administration.

I am so glad that I purchased this product a month ago. My dog recently developed some allergy and this product was our life saver! It’s important to tend the allergy immediately, so I am glad that I had it handy.

Does what it is supposed to do.
I have used Apoquel back when it was nearly impossible to obtain. It stopped nearly 100% of my JRT’s itching issues.
