My dog has allergies. Can I get Apoquel without a vet visit?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 4 years and 1 month old | 62 lbs

My dog has been dealing with allergies for a very long time… We have been to multiple veterinarians and been on multiple medications the only one of which that seems to work in the slightest is Apoquell, but we are running out of money with all of the vet bills just being seen every time let alone the price of the medication… Is there anyway to get this prescription called in for him? He’s absolutely miserable and we don’t know what to do. Thank you So much.

Hello, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Poor Kylo, that skin looks pretty uncomfortable! Unfortunately in order to prescribe medication we are legally required to have examined the animal to establish a “vet-client-patient relationship” so we cannot call in prescriptions with online consults. You will need to touch base with your regular vet to get Kylo’s medication.
