The combination pairs amoxicillin, a penicillin-class antibiotic, with clavulanate potassium, which blocks the beta-lactamase enzymes that let many bacteria resist amoxicillin alone — extending coverage for skin, soft-tissue, dental, and urinary tract infections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActive ingredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e dogs and cats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e oral tablets, sold per tablet so you buy exactly the quantity prescribed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e skin infections and wounds (including pyoderma and abscesses), periodontal infections, and urinary tract infections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrescription:\u003c\/strong\u003e yes — requires authorization from your veterinarian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour prescribing veterinarian determines the dose based on your pet's weight and the infection being treated; it is usually given twice daily. Giving tablets with a small amount of food can reduce stomach upset. Always finish the entire course, even if your pet seems better, to help prevent the infection from returning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSafety information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most common side effects are vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Do not use in pets with a known allergy to penicillin-class antibiotics. Tell your veterinarian about any other medications your pet takes, and contact your vet right away if signs of an allergic reaction (facial swelling, hives, difficulty breathing) occur. Store as directed on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs amoxicillin\/clavulanate the same as Clavamox?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Clavamox is the veterinary brand name. These tablets contain the same amoxicillin\/clavulanate combination in generic form, typically at a lower cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow fast does it work?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost pets begin improving within a few days of starting treatment, but the full prescribed course must be completed to fully clear the infection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference from plain amoxicillin?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe added clavulanate inhibits beta-lactamase, the enzyme many bacteria use to inactivate amoxicillin, so the combination works against a wider range of bacteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs a prescription required?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Amoxicillin\/clavulanate is a prescription antibiotic, so a valid veterinarian-client-patient relationship and vet authorization are required before we can dispense it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere can I buy amoxicillin\/clavulanate for my pet?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can order it from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/smartyvets.ourvet.com\/pet\/products\/3371\"\u003eVetcove pharmacy store\u003c\/a\u003e, which ships from our home pharmacy and offers Autoship savings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLearn more in our guide: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/vet-tails\/what-you-need-to-know-about-amoxicillin-clavamox\"\u003eWhat You Need to Know About Amoxicillin (Clavamox)\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amoxicillin \/ Clavulanate","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51853193281767,"sku":null,"price":0.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/4387\/8119\/files\/102469-1.webp?v=1773244746","url":"https:\/\/www.smartyvets.com\/products\/vc-3371","provider":"Smarty Vets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
