Doxycycline (Generic) 100 mg, 50 Count
If your pup is sick, your veterinarian may recommend doxycycline for dogs. This medication is one of the most common antibiotics for dogs and is used for a variety of diagnoses. It’s always important to consult your veterinarian about any prescription drugs or dog vitamins and supplements and whether they’re appropriate for your pup before giving them to your pet.
Veterinarians use doxycycline for dogs to help treat a variety of infections. This can include leptospirosis in dogs, which commonly causes fever, shivering, lethargy and muscle tenderness. It’s also used to treat Lyme disease in dogs, indicated by fever, loss of appetite and lameness. The best remedy for these illnesses is prevention via dog flea and tick treatments, but if your pup does contract these diseases, your vet may prescribe doxycycline.
The most common side effects of doxycycline are nausea and vomiting, which can be mitigated if you administer the medication with dry dog food. You’ll also want to have the proper dog poop bags and clean-up supplies on hand, just in case the drug causes a messy reaction. Overall, doxycycline has no more side effects than most other commonly prescribed antibiotics for dogs.
If your veterinarian has authorized a prescription for doxycycline for dogs, you can get it right here at Petco. All you need is a verified prescription, and we’ll contact your veterinarian to confirm your dog’s needs.
