Apoquel (oclacitinib) is prescribed for the treatment and control of itching (canine pruritus) and inflammation in dogs that can come about for a number of reasons. Just like us, your dog may at some point develop certain allergies. Your pet may exhibit irritation from a flea, food, or contact allergy; or atopic dermatitis. Studies show that up to 10% of pups are affected by atopic dermatitis. Apoquel works by blocking the activity of certain proteins that cause your pet to be so uncomfortable.
