Hello, I am a foreign tourist visiting the USA on vacation. My dog is on Apoquel Tabs treatment. I have the prescription from my Brazilian vet. I am researching and read to buy this remedy in the United States online I need a prescription from an American vet. How do I get this veterinary prescription to buy online on sites like chewey.com?

The easiest way is to make an appointment with a veterinarian for an exam and show him the prescription. He may actually sell you the Apoquel. Unfortunately you will not get a prescription from a veterinarian here without a hands-on exam as the vet has to establish a client-patient-vet relationship (legal requirement) in order to prescribe a medication for your animal. This is satisfied with a clinical exam.
