Antibiotics are a class of medication used to fight bacterial infections. There are many types of antibiotics that treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. Antibiotics are available as pills, drops, sprays, gels, ointments, and injections. Some of the most common antibiotics used in veterinarian medicine are not FDA-approved for use in dogs, but veterinarians are able to prescribe them for “off-label” use. This doesn’t mean the medication is less effective or dangerous, but you should always carefully follow your veterinarian’s instructions when providing antibiotics to your dog. These medications may have significant side effects and may not be appropriate for pregnant dogs or dogs with certain medical conditions. Some of the more common antibiotics include:
• Terramycin: Terramycin is available as an ointment used to treat a variety of eye conditions in dogs, including pink eye. It is available without a prescription and FDA-approved for use in animals.
• Amoxicillin: This common antibiotic is used to treat conditions like urinary tract infections, respiratory conditions, and skin infections.
• Doxycycline: Often used to treat tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease or Ehrlichia.
• Tetracycline: This antibiotic may be prescribed for inflammatory skin conditions but is not commonly used in dogs due to side effects.
• Penicillin: Penicillin is an uncommon antibiotic in veterinary medicine, but an injectable form is sometimes used to treat leptospirosis.
Antibiotics are highly effective drugs but may produce side effects including diarrhea, vomiting, and allergic reactions in some dogs. Never give your dog antibiotics that were prescribed for a human. If you have questions about using antibiotics in your dog, including over-the-counter medications, it’s always a good idea to check with your veterinarian.
Get dog antibiotics prescriptions online at Chewy Pharmacy by first visiting your vet for a prescription. Then, go online and add the appropriate antibiotic product to your cart.

The best antibiotics are the ones your vet recommends for your dog’s needs. Commonly prescribed antibiotics for dogs include doxycycline, Clavamox and Baytril, but the right medicine will depend on what kind of infection your dog has, his age, allergies, habits and other medications, as well. Follow the instructions your veterinarian gives you, finish your dog’s entire prescription and never give your best friend any prescription medication not prescribed by your vet.
Antibiotics do make dogs sleepy sometimes, but the effects sometimes get better as they adjust to the medication. Other common side effects of antibiotics in dogs include lethargy, nausea and/or a loss of appetite. Some dogs can also experience allergic reactions like hives, rashes, stomach irritation, vomiting or diarrhea. Alert your vet about any concerning side effects you notice while your dog is on medication.
Give a dog antibiotics by following the instructions on the packaging closely for dosing and administration instructions. For oral medications, open your dog’s mouth by putting your fingers over the incisors and then deposit the pill as far back on the tongue as possible. Then, close the mouth and blow on your dog’s nose to make him swallow. Some medications can also be mixed into food or hidden in treats to disguise the medicine. Eye and ear antibiotics can come in liquid or ointment forms, and these are often applied directly to the affected area. Consult with your vet on the best ways to administer each antibiotic prescribed for your pup.
