I have a 75lb Siberian Husky named Cidolfus (or Cid for short) who is 5 years old and neutered. He is experiencing seasonal allergy symptoms, specifically itchiness between his toes on his front left paw, similar to last year when he developed an infection from excessive licking. We previously used Zyrtec to treat this, but I am out of Zyrtec and have Xyzal. Is it safe to give him Xyzal instead?
