The grass is greener on the other side for Logan, Deuce, Molly and Harley.
“We noticed Logan’s chronic itching almost immediately after we brought him home—and he didn’t even want to be touched.”
After years of trying different products, along with continuous antihistamine use, we grew frustrated, as Logan remained miserable.
We felt helpless. Logan’s itching grew so bad that he cut and scarred his eye while scratching around it. He lived with an e-collar for several years.
Finally, a new vet recommended a pill that was different than anything we ever tried before. We noticed an improvement in Logan’s itching very quickly. It has made him happier, and, in turn, we are happier and experience more cuddling time with Logan.
“We had been trying for years to find a treatment solution that worked.”
Deuce is a Hurricane Katrina rescue who struggled with what we thought were severe allergies. We tried everything—medicated shampoos, oils, food changes—but nothing helped. He was increasingly miserable, licking and scratching himself raw, even needing high doses of antihistamines just to sleep.
Our rock bottom was when he got an infection from one of his open wounds. Fearing the worst, we saw one last vet who recommended a new medication. Within hours we could see an improvement… A couple nights later, he was finally able to sleep without drowsy allergy medicine and woke up more energized. We [are] thankful to have our dog back!
“When we finally found the right treatment, it made all the difference.”
We first started noticing signs when Molly was about a year old. She had turned bright red from head to toe and was covered in scabs from scratching. Her eyes and ears were extremely swollen, and it became apparent that she was miserable. Molly would lie around all day and had zero energy or motivation to do anything. We tried steroid medication...but it made her thirsty and she had to urinate all the time. When we finally found the right treatment... Molly wasn’t itching as frequently...and her energy levels drastically improved.
Not only was she able to play outside, but she actually wanted to play outside. It was amazing to see how, in just a couple of days, she was a completely different dog!
“When the veterinarian told me about an injectable option that could last a month or more, I was ecstatic.”
Harley’s skin issues were detected during his regular grooming. The groomer noticed skin infections, ear infections, and hot spots.
When the veterinarian told me about an injectable option that could last a month or more, I was ecstatic. After starting treatment, Harley’s itch and paw biting stopped. We go in once a month to reaffirm everything is OK. Even though Harley is 14...he seems to have a brightness in him again and a spring in his step. It’s a good feeling for all of us.
Getting your dog the right treatment early can help relieve the signs of itching quickly and avoid unnecessary costs and suffering. It starts with the right conversation with your veterinarian.
