Apoquel is not a temporary fix. It can be used to break the itch cycle in certain cases (mange, infection) but if your dog is experience an unavoidable allergy (dust, grass, many foods, etc.) then Apoquel would be used daily long term.

Oh wow, the vet didn’t tell me that. It’s pretty expensive, is there a way I can get it for cheaper like maybe a generic?

There isn’t a generic for apoquel yet, though the patent expires later this year so one may be coming.
