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.

Hello, and thanks for using Boop by Petco. 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.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Sorry to hear about Lily's allergies. I would highly advice that you consider Apoquel. This medication is very effective to decrease the itch and help with the clinical signs associated with allergies that you describe. The best thing about Apoquel besides its efficacy is that you can stop it at any point so you can consider using it just for the time being while she is affected by allergies the most. That is how I use it for my own dogs and they are going great. Good luck and have a nice day!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! While apoquel is a great drug to stop scratching and to help atopic dermatitis it doesn't do anything in the face of a skin infection. Coco should be checked to see if she now has a yeast and or bacterial skin infection. There is also the option of doing an injection for scratching called cytopoint, which lasts 30-60 days (dog dependent). I would also consider adding Omega 3 fish oils and changing her diet to a non-chicken based novel protein diet (try venison, lamb, fish). Claritin, benadryl and zyrtec can be sued in dogs, see links below: https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/zyrtec/ https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/claritin/ https://www.vrshealth.com/canine-products/omegadog/ https://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=15235

I wouldn't advise that because Apoquel is weight dependent, so your pet Mindy may acutally need a different dosage than your oether pet. The dosage chart for Apoquel is very specific to the pets weight. I would instead look into why your pets are itching. I would suspect fleas may be the cause, especially if both pets never had skin problems before. Getting them both on a good high quality flea preventative (i.e. Simparica, Nexgard, Bravecto, etc) is best, if not done so already. Then its best to get Mindy seen by your vet as well before making the assumption that Apoquel would be indicated for her skin condition also. Plus you wanat to get a full dose for her, if this is in fact the medication that she needs to be on. I hope this helps and best wishes getting to the bottom of your pets itchy skin woes. Take care.
