Clavamox Chewable Tablets are prescribed for the treatment of bacterial infections in cats and dogs, including skin infections, urinary tract infections, and periodontal disease. Each tablet contains amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium and is FDA approved. The chewable form allows for easy administration to most pets.How it Works

Clavulanate and Amoxicillin, the two main ingredients of Clavamox, work together to provide broad-spectrum antibiotic action. Amoxicillin stops the bacteria from forming a cell wall, and Clavulanate forces some Amoxicillin-resistant bacteria to weaken and become susceptible to the antibiotic.

Special Precautions

• Clavamox contains amoxicillin, a semi-synthetic penicillin. This could potentially cause an allergic reaction. Administer steroids and/or epinephrine if your pet experiences an allergic reaction.
• Safety has not been proven in breeding or pregnant animals.
