DoxyPet

Product Overview

Doxypet is a veterinary medication combining doxycycline hydrochloride (a broad-spectrum antibiotic) with lactic acid bacillus spores (a probiotic). This dual-action formula effectively treats bacterial infections while supporting digestive health in pets. The tablets are designed for oral administration, offering convenient treatment for dogs and cats.

Uses

Veterinarians prescribe Doxypet to treat bacterial infections affecting:
– Respiratory system
– Urinary tract
– Skin
– Periodontal tissues

The antibiotic component eliminates pathogenic bacteria, while the probiotic helps maintain healthy gut flora, particularly beneficial for pets experiencing infection-related digestive issues.

How to Use

Administer tablets as directed by your veterinarian:
– May be given with or without food (food may reduce stomach upset)
– Follow prescribed dosage and treatment duration precisely
– For pets that resist tablets: may be crushed and mixed with food/water
– Complete full treatment course, even if symptoms improve earlier

How it Works

1. Doxycycline hydrochloride:
– Inhibits bacterial protein synthesis
– Stops growth and reproduction of susceptible bacteria
– Effectively clears infections

2. Lactic acid bacillus spores:
– Restores beneficial gut bacteria
– Supports digestion and nutrient absorption

Dosage and Administration
