Apoquel is suppose to be the safer alternative to prednisone according to my vet and what I have read. We also use grain free food, add fish oil to the food and religiously treat the house and yard for flea prevention. A favorite quote of every vet I have ever used is "well it only takes one flea" to continue the scratching on the dog. Dust mites are also another problem. We use grain free sweet potato and fish for our two dogs and only one scratches lately.
