What can I buy over the counter for atopy for a dog?
Some OTC antihistamines (diphenhydramine, loratidine, chlorpheniramine, etc.) may provide relief. Prescription drugs, such as Atopica or Apoquel, may be more effective. These last two would need to be dispensed by your veterinarian. Never medicate your pet without the advice of your vet.

Hello. Honestly, I recommend either Nordic Naturals or Bayer Free Form Snip Tips. Both of these are highly recommended by veterinary dermatologists, too. You will need to call other veterinarians to see who carries Cytopoint. It is an excellent product & most of my clients love the convenience of only needing a simple injection once ever 6-8 weeks to control their pet's allergies. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

If he has pustules then he may need to be on an antibiotic again to treat an infection. Atopica can cause side effects in some dogs and if you dog is experiencing negative side effects then you could talk to your vet about switching to a new allergy medication called Apoquel. I have used it on may dogs and it seems to work very well with minimal side effects.

My 2 year old itches alot, he is rid of fleas I give him treatment for that but he still scratches and knaws at his skin. Is Atopica good to give to him to treat this problem? I give him children's Benadryl but it doesn't help him.
If the itching has an allergic component, Atoica may help. You should have Titus examined by your veterinarian to diagnose the underlying cause. It could be parasites (mites or fleas). Even one flea bite n a sensitive dog can cause a severe reaction. It may also be dry skin, infection (bacterial or fungal), food sensitivities or an endocrine imbalance. Discuss allergy testing, hydrolyzed diets and food elimination trials with your vet. A different antihistamine may be more effective. In the meantime, place an e-collar on Titus to prevent excessive licking or chewing. A tee shirt or onesie may prevent scratching.

It is extremely difficult, if not impossible to control a pets allergies with access to medications through your vet. If you are looking for an affordable and effective treatment, then ask your vet about a product called Apoquel. It has grown immensely in its popularity among pet owners because of its reasonable pricing and effectiveness in controlling canine allergic dermatitis. Also I know you probably are already aware, but finding out what the allergen is and either avoiding it (when possible) or getting skin allergy testing and subsequent allergy shots are often needed to truly control a pets allergic condition. However as I mentioned earlier, Apoquel acts to stop the itch in pets with allergies as long as the pet is on the medication. Another thing you can do is to give Ahi daily fish oils (pet formulated from your local pet store), which provides some natural anti-inflammatory properties. Here is a website link on canine allergic dermatitis for more information: http://www.vet
