Greg, your comments are spot on. My moms dog (that I now care for) hound/ mix has terrible allergies his blood work came back allergic to all proteins. We found he can tolerate Bison, carrots and lentils. I agree that the average human cannot afford these treatments and vet visits and with the cost of inflation everything is HIGHER which makes raw food diet even harder. his last year vet bill was over 5k (which my mother cannot afford or me) and that does not include new dog food, treats, baths every two weeks that are lower on his allergy testing. He has been on Apoquel 8 years. Yes it helps with his itching mostly keeping the itch at bay but we are seeing the ALOT of fatty tumors and some small hard cysts, change of weather makes him have horrible skin breakouts. All we can do is try to min the symptom's. But no one has the money for any of this. Sad that the Pharm companies can just keep putting medications out knowing it does more harm than good.
