Antibiotics

Antibiotics for dogs are medications used to treat bacterial infections, such as skin, ear, respiratory, or urinary tract infections. These medications kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria, helping your dog recover from illness. Antibiotics are only effective against bacterial infections and won’t help with viral or fungal infections.

Function?

Antibiotics are given to treat dogs that develop infections or as a preventative method after a dental or other surgical procedure. Common antibiotics prescribed for dogs include amoxicillin, cephalexin, and metronidazole.

Function

How to use?

Antibiotics are known to kill healthy, beneficial bacteria, which are a crucial part of the immune system. Beneficial bacteria protect pets against viruses, bacterial and fungal infections, and parasites. If you have to give antibiotics, follow with a daily dose of probiotics to help maintain healthy gut flora while also restoring beneficial bacteria! Raw goat milk is a great source of raw probiotics to feed.
