Still Itching on Apoquel? Here's What the Medication Can't Fix

from Next Level Pet Parent · host Charly & Larry Pruden

If your dog is still scratching, flaring up, or stuck in the loop of medication and prescription diets with no real improvement, this episode is for you. We sat down with Billy Hoekman, VP of Nutrition and Formulation at Green Juju, to talk about what's actually driving dog allergies today and what a real, practical, natural approach looks like. Billy worked through this with his own French Bulldog, Huckleberry, so everything he shares is lived experience backed by over 15 years in animal nutrition. In this conversation, you'll hear why allergies are almost never just a food problem, how genetics, environment, and gut health all compound together, what the three-part protocol looks like that helped Huckleberry go from wearing a cone to thriving, and why patience and consistency matter more than finding the perfect supplement. We also put together a free guide to walk you through the root drivers, common mistakes, and where to start. Download The Complete Natural Guide to Allergies and Yeast in Dogs at: https://pawdega.us/allergy-guideIf you want to support your dog's gut and immune system while you work on the root cause, the Allergy and Yeast Relief Protocol and Green Juju Limited Ingredient Diet are available at PAWDEGA, your Online Holistic Pet Wellness Store: https://pawdega.us/discount/NEXTLEVELUse code NEXTLEVEL for a discount on your first order. This content is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional veterinary guidance.
