What is Apoquel for dogs?
Apoquel is medicine for animals. It contains the active ingredient oclacitinib and is available in different strengths so that the dosage can be adapted to the weight of the respective dog. Apoquel is used to treat dogs with allergic itching.
Many dogs suffer from allergies
Allergies have long become a widespread problem in dogs. Affected quadrupeds suffer in particular from skin problems that cause severe itching.
To counteract this, allergic dogs bite and scratch themselves very often, which often leads to bald spots in the coat or even open wounds and further intensifies the already existing problems with the skin.
Sometimes the itching caused by the dog's allergy can even be so severe that the four-legged friend can no longer rest and suffers from sleeping problems even at night.
The veterinary medicine Apoquel was developed to relieve the allergy-induced itching in dogs and thus reduce the excessive biting and licking that accompanies it. Many dog owners report that this is very successful and that Apoquel can significantly alleviate the discomfort of their four-legged friend.
Diarrhoea as a possible side effect of Apoquel
Apoquel is an extremely effective remedy, the taking of which should not involve any significant risks, at least in healthy dogs. However, it may well cause some side effects.
One of these is diarrhoea, which, according to reports from dog owners, can often occur after taking Apoquel.
Insect-based dog food for dogs with diarrhoea
Diarrhoea is not only unpleasant for dogs but in the long run, it is also associated with an inadequate supply of nutrients and loss of fluids. For this reason, it is important to take diarrhoea seriously as a side effect of Apoquel and to do something about it.
For dogs with diarrhoea, we recommend feeding our easily digestible insect-based dog food, which is available in different varieties.
Dog owners can choose between the following varieties with insect protein:
- Bellfor Landgut-Menü (Farm Menu) (wet food without cereals)
- Bellfor Landgut-Schmaus (Farm Feast) (cereal-free, extruded dry fodder)
- Bellfor Naturgut-Schmaus (Natural Feast) (cereal-free, cold-pressed dry food)
The insect protein, which is produced from the larvae of black soldier flies, is hypoallergenic and is therefore very suitable for allergic dogs that may suffer from diarrhoea due to taking Apoquel.
As we know from the countless feedback from customers, a complete switch to our hypoallergenic dog food with insect protein can lead to the complete disappearance of intolerances or food allergies in dogs and therefore often even make the previously necessary administration of medication unnecessary.
Support with natural food supplements
Just like other medications, Apoquel, if taken regularly, can put a considerable strain on your dog's body. To counteract this, a dietary supplement with Bellfor Immun and Bellfor Kidney Strength can be useful.
Bellfor Immun to strengthen the immune system
Regular contact with allergens and the administration of a medication, such as Apoquel, can put a considerable strain on your dog's immune system over time. As a result, your four-legged friend becomes increasingly susceptible to illness and infections.
Bellfor Immun can help strengthen your dog's immune system. This is because the natural food supplement contains selected ingredients such as insect protein and propolis, which provide your dog with valuable additional nutrients.
Bellfor Kidney Strength as support for the kidneys
The kidneys filter harmful substances from the blood. However, various environmental influences, such as drug residues, can overload them and over time even lead to chronic renal insufficiency.
Bellfor Nierenkraft (Kidney Strength) can help to prevent this. This is because the natural food supplement contains selected herbs that stimulate the natural detoxification processes in your dog's kidneys and thus help to ensure that residues of medicines such as Apoquel are reliably removed from the body.
