Weight-Based Dosage Guide
Standard guideline: 2.2 mg per lb of body weight once every 24 hours. Use our Dosage Calculator for exact mg and tablet count. Examples:
- 15 lb dog → 33 mg (≈⅛ × 250 mg tablet) once daily
- 30 lb dog → 66 mg (≈¼ × 250 mg tablet) once daily
- 60 lb dog → 132 mg (≈½ × 250 mg tablet) once daily
Storage & Safety Tips
- Give on an empty stomach if possible; a small treat is OK for sensitive dogs.
- Finish the full course—even if coughing stops early.
- Store tablets at 68–77 °F (20–25 °C) in a dry place.
- Watch for mild side-effects: transient vomiting or soft stool. Severe diarrhea or lethargy warrants vet attention.
Is dog azithromycin the same as human Zithromax?
The active molecule—azithromycin dihydrate—is identical USP grade. Veterinary-labeled dog azithromycin includes canine weight charts, flavoring and GMP canine-facility traceability, making it safer than human generics.
Do I need a prescription?
No. Companion-animal antibiotics may be sold OTC when labeled for canine use. Always follow dosing guidelines and consult a vet for complicated lung infections.
How fast will my order ship?
