Does not work if your animals have heavy allergies
By Sally on May 14, 2021
I wouldn’t suggest getting an over the counter allergy medication if your animal has bad allergies. This is a script not worth having in my situation.

Itchy GSD
By Dogmomma94 on Mar 28, 2021 top1000Contributor
We use these twice a day to keep his itchy skin in check. Helps mostly and a bit safer than those apoquel pills or the cytopoint injection. We just put them in a Pill assist from royal canin.
