From The Schwarzman Animal Medical Center

Apoquel® Chewable is a prescription allergy medication commonly used in dogs. The tablets are small and pork-liver flavored, which makes them easy to administer — but also appealing to both dogs and cats. Pets that gain access may quickly consume multiple tablets, or even an entire bottle.

After the chewable formulation was introduced in 2023, pet poison control centers reported a marked increase in pets becoming ill after ingesting medication not prescribed for them or consuming more than their prescribed dose. Cases have involved both dogs and cats.

Store all medications in a locked cabinet, out of reach of pets. If you suspect your pet has ingested medication not prescribed for them or consumed more than prescribed, seek veterinary care immediately. You can also contact a pet poison control center for guidance:

Pet Poison Helpline: (855) 764-7661 (consultation fee applies)
ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center: (888) 426-4435 (consultation fee applies)
