My dog has allergies and has been on Apoquel (3.6 mg) for a few months now. It works really well, but the cost is starting to add up.

I’m looking for more affordable alternatives. I’ve heard some people mention Cetirizine (Zyrtec) as an OTC option, but I don’t know how effective it actually is compared to Apoquel.

Also curious—do you typically find better pricing buying Apoquel through your vet, or are there more cost-effective options (online pharmacies, etc.)?

Would love to hear what’s worked for others managing dog allergies without breaking the bank.j
