Sorry, just because your dogs have been lucky enough to be unaffected by Apoquel doesn’t mean ours haven’t suffered from it.

Ah, Airedales. I had one at home during my high school, college days, and what an amazing dog Jake was. Of course, in those days, he was barely vaccinated. It wasn't the crazy "norm" we have now, where vaccines are often pushed yearly. He ate Purina Dog Chow (we didn't know any better) and was never sick.

I blame the vaccines far more than the food, as the food can be changed to balanced raw food and a certain percent of allergic dogs still will suffer. I call allergies "immune confusion," and there's nothing like injecting foreign viruses (or mRNA for that matter) right into the body, bypassing all the natural defenses Mother Nature has provided for millennia, to confuse the immune system.

So, let's hope the "other shoe" never drops for you and your buddy.

And, if you don't think anything is real under there are double blind studies, you'll wait a long time to find any like you suggest. I think it's wiser to look at the mechanism of action of this drug and listen to the hue and cry from so many who've seen nastier diseases than the itch emerge after the drug started further messing with an already disturbed immune system.
