Doxypet

Product Overview

Doxypet is a medication formulated with the active ingredients doxycycline hydrochloride and lactic acid bacillus spores. These tablets are designed to provide effective treatment for various bacterial infections in pets. The combination of doxycycline, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and lactic acid bacillus spores, a probiotic, offers a dual-action approach to combat infections while restoring gut health in animals. Doxypet tablets are available in a convenient oral dosage form, making them easy to administer to pets.

Uses

Doxypet is commonly prescribed by veterinarians to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in dogs and cats, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and periodontal infections. The antibiotic properties of doxycycline help to eliminate harmful bacteria, while the probiotic component supports gastrointestinal health by replenishing beneficial bacteria in the gut flora. This combination therapy is particularly beneficial for pets suffering from bacterial infections and associated digestive disturbances.

How to Use

Administer Doxypet tablets orally to your pet as directed by your veterinarian. The tablets can be given with or without food, although giving them with a meal may help reduce the risk of gastrointestinal upset. Follow the prescribed dosage and duration of treatment carefully to ensure optimal therapeutic outcomes. If your pet has difficulty swallowing tablets, you may crush the tablet and mix it with a small amount of food or water for easier administration. Always complete the full course of treatment, even if your pet’s symptoms improve before the medication is finished.

How it Works

Doxycycline hydrochloride, the antibiotic component of Doxypet, works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins, thereby preventing the growth and replication of susceptible bacteria. This effectively clears the infection and helps alleviate associated symptoms. Lactic acid bacillus spores act as probiotics, promoting a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. By restoring gut flora, lactic acid bacillus spores support digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall gastrointestinal health in pets.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Doxypet tablets varies depending on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the weight and condition of the animal being treated. Your veterinarian will determine the appropriate dosage regimen for your pet based on these factors. Generally, the recommended dosage for dogs and cats is 5-10 mg/kg of body weight, administered once or twice daily. Always follow your veterinarian’s instructions regarding dosage and administration to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Warnings

Doxypet should not be used in pets with a known hypersensitivity to doxycycline or other tetracycline antibiotics. Use with caution in pregnant or nursing animals, as well as in young puppies and kittens, as the safety of the medication in these populations has not been fully established.
