GREENFIELD, IN / ACCESS Newswire / June 6, 2025 / Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE:ELAN) today 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 badly 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.
"There are more itchy dogs out there than you might realize," said Dr. Jennifer Miller, veterinarian and canine dermatology expert at Elanco. "This report shows that nearly 9 in 10 U.S. dogs are 'itchy dogs,' according to their pet owners, experiencing symptoms of itchiness at any point throughout the year. Seasonal allergies make that worse, with more than 8 in 10 dog owners saying that their cities' pollen levels affect their dogs' itch levels. On average, pet owners say they're spending $173 more and using two additional treatments to treat their dogs' itch during allergy season; and they're desperate for a simple, cost-effective solution." 1
