I have two frenchie boys age 2 and 4 thought I try the calm treats they worked within 2 weeks I would say I saw difference .. I was still little sceptical so following month I stopped them and then realised yes they much calmer and happier on them..

Again I can't say for sure the product is solely to blame, but there is something in this that made my dog very poorly, so please take care when using this product on your pooch. I am writing this so if anyone out there has a dog with the same illnesses, allergies and sensitivities as my girl, please speak to your vet first before giving anything containing these ingredients. Apoquel has side effects, it was a relatively new drug when my dog first went on it with minimal side effects, sadly that is no longer the case and as the years go on and more research into this drug takes place, more side effects and conditions have been reported.

Customer reviews

During this time she's been on 5.4mg Apoquel twice a day for 9 years which has resulted in other health issues arising over this extended period of time and I wanted an alternative to this medication if possible. Instead of helping her they have made her quite poorly. I've took her to the vet whom advised me to stop giving them to her (which I didn't need to be told) and give her chance to get them out of her system and some medicine to help her recover.

I have used numerous products in the past, from lotions, shampoos, diet changes, medication and spent hundreds of pounds on these various products with the hope of finding just one that will help my pal. saw an advert for the itching skin treats, which I hadn’t given a thought as my first concern had been to calm them ..

It read on the enclosed tag to give the product 2 weeks before reviewing and at least 30 days before the product might show any signs of helping. This ingredient is neither a steroid or antihistamine, which explains why neither of these things alone work on my girl, due to past experience and trying various products. So what I was hoping would be a solution turned out to be more problematic and another costly vet bill. The Apoquel itself is patented until 2026, so the active ingredient "oclacitinib maleate" within this product can't be used by another drug company until 2026 due to rights and so fourth. It's therefore only available by prescription from your vet.
