Hi everyone
I discovered Cytopoint today, it's only authorized in France since july 2017. I have an atopic Bernese Mountain dog, I tried everything possible (homeopathy, phytotherapy, vet medecine etc.) but nothing works and my girl is hitching all year round (she suffers from house dust allergy, but not only). Right now the only way to relieve her is corticoid treatment which isn't recommanded in the long term. So I was ready to try Cytopoint, might not be the universal panacea, but maybe better than corticoids ? And I know by experience that you never get over allergies and asthma, unfortunately I have to live with it myself.
Your site is very interesting I'll keep an eye on it :)
Sorry for my bad english !
Marianne

I totally respect everything you're saying and I always prefer a more natural approach. And I agree that I did take a risk by getting the shot this year. As I said, I was desperate. But I wonder what to do with a dog like mine whose allergies do in fact seem to be brought on by the season? You mention "chronic disease" and that makes me think more of the dogs like some of the other posters are mentioning who itch non stop all year. I would never consider giving my dog a shot like this every month. Do you think that once a year poses that much risk? Later tonight I will for sure read your report on Apoquel alternatives so that we can prepare for next allergy season. I am open to anything that will make my dog more happy, healthy, and comfortable.
