Apoquel · Oclacitinib · Dog Allergy Management

Managing your dog's
Apoquel prescription.

Apoquel works. You've seen it. The scratching stops, the licking stops, your dog can sleep. But managing the refills — the cost, the timing, the pharmacy logistics — shouldn't be a second job. RxHaus handles every refill automatically so the medication that's working keeps working.

The Apoquel Reality

It's expensive. It's monthly. It never stops.

Apoquel (oclacitinib) is one of the most prescribed chronic medications in veterinary medicine. For dogs with environmental or food allergies, it's often not a short-term treatment — it's a permanent part of their life.

Know Your Options

Apoquel isn't the only path. Here's what owners are navigating.

The allergy medication landscape is evolving. Owners are increasingly aware of alternatives — and confused by them. RxHaus helps you navigate these options with your vet's guidance, not around it.

Most Prescribed
Apoquel (Oclacitinib)
FDA-approved oral JAK inhibitor. Once-daily maintenance after initial twice-daily phase. Works within 4 hours. No FDA-approved generic oclacitinib available in the US as of 2026 — brand pricing applies. Zoetis patent protection remains in place.
Injectable Alternative
Cytopoint
Monoclonal antibody injection. Monthly or bi-monthly dosing. Administered at the vet clinic. Different mechanism than Apoquel — works for some dogs who don't respond to oclacitinib. Higher per-dose cost, lower daily management burden.
Generic Available
Atopica (Cyclosporine)
Older allergy medication with generic cyclosporine widely available. Significantly lower cost than Apoquel. Slower onset — takes 4–8 weeks to reach full effect. Worth discussing with your vet as a cost-management option for long-term cases.
FDA-Approved Competitor · Sept 2024
Zenrelia (Ilunocitinib)
New FDA-approved JAK inhibitor approved September 2024 as a direct Apoquel competitor. Non-selective JAK inhibitor — different mechanism, carries an FDA Boxed Warning. Some vets are prescribing as an alternative. Ask your vet whether Zenrelia is appropriate and how pricing compares to Apoquel for your dog's situation.
Compounded
Compounded Oclacitinib
Compounding pharmacies can formulate oclacitinib at lower cost. Requires a valid prescription. Quality varies by pharmacy — PCAB-accredited compounding pharmacies are the standard for safety. RxHaus routes compounded Rxs to accredited partners only.
The real anxiety isn't the medication working. It's the refill timing. Miss a few days and you're back to scratching, infections, sleepless nights. The cost is what it is — the logistics shouldn't add to it.

How RxHaus Works

One photo. We handle the rest.

Apoquel requires a valid prescription from your vet. RxHaus doesn't change that — it makes everything after that moment effortless.

01
Photograph the prescription your vet gave you
Our app reads the prescription — medication, dosage, refill schedule — and takes it from there. No manual data entry. No account setup maze.
02
We route to a licensed pharmacy and show you the price
You see the exact cost before anything ships. Brand Apoquel at pharmacy pricing — or if your vet has authorized a compounded alternative, we route to an accredited compounding pharmacy.
03
We remind you before you run out
Five days before your supply runs out, you get an alert. One tap to reorder. The medication ships before you hit zero. No lapse. No symptoms returning.
04
Delivered to your door. Tracked every step.
Ships from a licensed pharmacy directly to you. You know exactly where it is. No void. No hold music. No driving.
