Storage & Safety Tips
- Give with a small meal to prevent nausea.
- Do not give alongside antacids or iron—wait 2 hours.
- Finish the full course; stopping early fuels resistance.
- Store at 68–77 °F (20–25 °C) in a dry place.
- Watch for mild side-effects: soft stool, decreased appetite. Severe vomiting or rash warrants vet attention.
Is dog doxycycline the same as human doxycycline?
The active molecule—doxycycline hyclate—is identical USP grade. Veterinary-labeled dog doxycycline includes canine weight charts, flavoring and GMP canine-facility traceability, making it safer than human generics.
Do I need a prescription to buy doxycycline for my dog?
No. Companion-animal antibiotics may be sold OTC when labeled for canine use. Always follow dosage guidelines and consult a veterinarian for complex infections.
