Apoquel killed my dog.

Apoquel is a drug produced by animal pharmaceutical company Zoetis for the treatment of alergies that cause severe itching in dogs. It is marketed as a safe drug with almost no side effects but it has a very dark side. If you look online, you can find many horror stories related to the use of Apoquel. Please think before agreeing to using Apoquel on your pets!
I have attached some links below that you can copy and paste to your browser so you can read for yourselves. Because sometimes, in our quest to help our pets, both we and they fall victim to greed and dishonesty!

There is so much more online regarding Apoquel, it is a wonder it is still being used. Don't trust that your veterinarian is telling you the truth about this medication. Vets like doctors everywhere are only as informed as the sales meterial they were given by Pharmaceutical Reps along with what they were told. Other than that, chances are good that they have never done research into the medication themselves.
If your dog is prescribed Apoquel, please decline!
If you have had a bad experience after your pet was prescribed this drug, let us know in the comments.
Apoquel is not an answer to alergy related itching.
