My dog has allergies. Are Pet Lab Co. chews better than Apoquel?

Question

Do you know anything about Pet Lab Co. Itch relief chews? Koa has allergies and takes Apoquel, I know it's not good for long term use so I would like to find another solution. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | 7 years and 5 months old | 28 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Koa. I personally have not see any adverse effects from using Apoquel longterm. Neither have I seen any case reports detailing the risks. However, if you are not comfortable with it, Cytopoint may be a better option for Koa. It is an infection given under the skin that provides itch relief from allergies for 4-8 weeks. It is very effective. I have not heard of Pet Lab Co. Itch Relief chews. There are numerous over-the-counter options. However, they are just not all that effective. If his symptoms are significant enough to require Apoquel, I doubt the chews will be helpful. If they were, they would be advertised and reviewed in veterinary literature and they have not been. I hope this information helps!
