DOXYPET 200 is a strong veterinary antibiotic and probiotic combination for treating bacterial infections in dogs. Each tablet has Doxycycline Hydrochloride, which is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, and Lactic Acid Bacillus, a helpful probiotic that aids gut health during antibiotic treatment.
This higher dosage formula is perfect for medium to large dogs that need stronger treatment. Doxycycline is highly soluble in fats, has excellent absorption, and lasts a long time in the body for continued antibacterial action. Lactic Acid Bacillus helps restore healthy gut flora, addressing any digestive issues that may occur from antibiotic use.
It comes highly recommended by Vishnu Dutt Tripathi | Pet Expert, and is available at PetsLifestyle – Because Pets Deserve A Lifestyle Too.
