What Cytopoint treats
Itching from atopic dermatitis in dogs. One injection lasts 4-8 weeks. Administered by a vet.
Why it costs more at the vet
Cytopoint must be administered by a vet, but the medicine itself can be supplied by an online pharmacy. Some UK vet practices accept 'client-supplied medication' (a prescription that you fulfil yourself and bring in for administration). Ask your practice about their policy.
