Only thing that works!

We've been dealing with itchy skin and ears for 2 years now. Iggy scratches himself to the point of huge legions on his head and ears, we've done countless testing, food trials and medication trials. Atopica is the only thing that has worked for him. He's now been on it for over a year.

Max the Cat ????

Max has been displaying over licking, nibbling and scratching for the last two years. He’s done steroid shots about every six months and they lasted for about three weeks.

Max has been on Atopica for 11 days now. On the sixth day he began to show incredible improvement. It took another two days for complete awesome ???? turn around. My vet found the magic bullet and I’m very grateful ????. I would definitely recommend this medication.
