Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | 2 years and 4 months old | 11 lbs

I have a 14ib dog with skin allergies. Ive had 2 consults and both vets suggest this apoquel medication. THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE STRENGTH FOR A 14LB DOG. What strength would you suggest?

Unfortunately it's illegal for me to recommend a dose for Marty without seeing him in person. You may want to try the lower dose first to see how it goes, and his vet can increase if needed. Best of luck.
