Amox Clav 875mg Veterinary Use
UpdatedHi, what if my dog took a piece of a tablet that fell to the floor? Is it poison to dogs? Thanks

Based on my research, drug companies do actually make Amoxicillin for both cats and dogs. So in my opinion your dog should probably be ok in the long run without any worries.
However if your dog doesn't seem to be handling it well, I would still encourage you to bring the dog to your local vet and have it checked out.
I hope this helps offer at least some relief knowing that Amoxicillin is often prescribed by vets.
Thank you!
I was seeking information on amox clav 875 mg tabs, as they related to ingestion by my dog. A big black lab, who got inquisitive and ate three tablets on a plate to be taken that night by myself. According to what I have found so far is that it is a light antibiotic sometimes prescribed for dogs and cats. So far the dog has only eaten grass, but has not shown any effects of this drug. It was just ingested about an hour ago. A vet cannot be reached at this time of night in this small town. 10:30 pm
My cat was recently on amox-clav for 10 days, so I know it's ok for cats. Amoxicillin IS prescribed for dogs, but the "clav" is another drug, not just a different form of amoxicillin. If you're in a small town, call a 24 hour vet in a nearby large town or call your own vet- most are on call after hours. You could also call a 24hr Walgreens or CVS; they advertise that they fill prescriptions for pets so they should know.
This happened to my dog one time. The only side effect that was noticeable was that he chased his tale for several hours. Other than that, smooth sailing!
