Is Your Dog on Apoquel or Cytopoint Shots? Read This ASAP!
If your dog is on Apoquel or Cytopoint for allergies, you're not alone — these are among the most commonly prescribed medications for itchy dogs in the US. But many pet owners don't realize there's a nutritional approach that has helped thousands of dogs reduce or eliminate their dependence on these drugs.
What Apoquel and Cytopoint Do
Both medications suppress the immune system's itch response — Apoquel blocks JAK enzymes involved in inflammation, while Cytopoint is a monoclonal antibody that targets itch-signaling proteins. They work, but they don't address the root cause of the allergy.
The Root Cause: Gut Health & Diet
Most canine allergies are driven by:
- A compromised gut microbiome (leaky gut)
- Chronic inflammation from poor diet
- Food sensitivities to common ingredients (chicken, beef, grains, dairy)
- Environmental triggers compounded by a weakened immune system
The Nutritional Approach
- K9 Biotics — our #1 bestselling probiotic, specifically formulated to support dogs with allergies and immune dysfunction
- Diet upgrade — switch to a limited ingredient, novel protein raw or gently cooked diet
- Omega-3 supplementation — powerful natural anti-inflammatory
- Digestive enzymes — heal the gut lining and improve nutrient absorption
- Elimination diet — identify and remove food triggers
