dog has allergies

my dog has allergies and vet prescribes Apoquel.  This does help but cost about $70 per month.  Has anyone else have a replacement medication that combats allergies?

My lab had allergies almost her whole life of 12 years. She was on Temeril P it wasnt too bad but it has been about 11 years since she is gone.

We used apoquel on our last lab. Our Vet described it as a "wonder drug". It certainly did wonders for him. I would check around on prices tho, the going rate is about $50 a month.       

I dont know the dosage rate but Zyrtec might be another option.  My mom's vet advised her to give her dog half a tablet.  He is <10lb lap dog.   

You can try Benadryl over the counter in 10mg one tablet for 50lb dog.(check with your vet) my wife does that with are lab/husky mix . only on occasion his allergies are pretty mild.

His a good boy
