Elanco Animal Health Incorporated released a new report highlighting the significance of America's Itchy Dogs and the impact itch has on dogs, their owners, and veterinarians. The first-of-its-kind report includes findings from multiple surveys of pet owners, as well as veterinarians, and reveals startling details on how severely dogs around the country are itching for relief and cost-effective, long-lasting solutions. With Zenrelia??

(ilunocitinib tablets) now widely available as a once-daily, cost-effective solution, veterinarians and dog owners have another option to help dogs get back to normal. Itching is one of the top reasons dogs are brought to the veterinarian, and it's a frustrating issue for both dog owners and veterinarians alike. The new report finds that itchy dog owners on average wait 6 weeks after their dog has started showing symptoms of itch to take them to the veterinarian.

Ninety% of veterinarians say that itchy dog owners wait too long before bringing their dog, resulting in raw and infected skin and also an irritated dog owner who wants their dog to experience relief quickly. If a veterinarian can't scratch that itch quickly, pet owners will find one who can. Nearly 8 in 10 itchy dog owners who have switched veterinarians report switching after 3 visits or less.

Switching veterinarians isn't the only extreme circumstances that owners of itchy dogs are willing to take - about half of dog owners say having an itchy dog tests their resolve to have a dog at all. At Elanco, the company are driven by vision of Food and Companionship Enriching Life and the majority of veterinarians say that ity dog tests their resolve to have an itchy dog at all.
