Full course guidance to prevent antibiotic resistance
When standard antibiotics fail or infections involve resistant bacteria, Clavamox provides broader coverage. The clavulanate component protects amoxicillin from bacterial enzymes that would otherwise inactivate it.
If your pet has a persistent skin infection, UTI, or dental abscess, a TelaVets veterinarian can assess the condition on video and prescribe Clavamox same-day when clinically appropriate.
What is Clavamox?
Clavamox combines amoxicillin with clavulanic acid, a beta-lactamase inhibitor that prevents bacteria from destroying the antibiotic. This dual action makes it effective against infections resistant to plain amoxicillin.
What does Clavamox treat?
Resistant skin infections, urinary tract infections, dental abscesses, respiratory infections, and wound infections in dogs and cats.
When a vet may prescribe Clavamox
- Deep pyoderma and skin infections not responding to first-line antibiotics
- Urinary tract infections with suspected resistant organisms
- Dental abscesses and post-extraction infections
- Respiratory infections with thick purulent discharge
- Bite wound infections and abscesses
- Chronic or recurrent ear infections with bacterial component
- Soft tissue infections requiring broad-spectrum coverage
Possible side effects of Clavamox
Know what to watch for — your TelaVets vet will review risks and benefits during your consultation.
- Gastrointestinal upset — vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite
- Allergic reactions in penicillin-sensitive pets
- Secondary yeast or fungal overgrowth with prolonged use
- Rare liver enzyme elevations with extended courses
Conditions Clavamox may be prescribed for
Why pets need Clavamox
Clavamox is prescribed when infections are deep, recurrent, or likely caused by resistant bacteria. Your vet selects it over plain amoxicillin based on infection severity and history.
Deep or chronic infections
Established abscesses, deep skin infections, and chronic UTIs harbor bacteria that require broader-spectrum antibiotic coverage.
Compromised skin barriers
Allergies, moisture, and self-trauma create entry points for bacteria that colonize and require potent antibiotic therapy.
How our vets determine if Clavamox is right
Clavamox requires veterinary assessment to confirm a bacterial infection warrants broad-spectrum therapy. TelaVets vets match antibiotic choice to infection type and severity.
- Visual assessment of infection severity — swelling, discharge, redness on video
- Review of prior antibiotic courses and treatment response
- Evaluation of urinary signs, dental pain, or wound appearance
- Discussion of culture results if previously performed
- Guidance on when cytology, urinalysis, or culture is recommended
Clavamox administration & dosing
Proper antibiotic stewardship means using the right drug for the right duration. Your TelaVets vet prescribes Clavamox with a complete course schedule matched to your pet's infection.
Give with food to minimize gastrointestinal side effects
Reconstituted liquid must be refrigerated and used within 10 days
Shake liquid suspension well before each dose
Complete the entire prescribed course — typically 7–14 days minimum
Tablets can be hidden in pill pockets or soft food for compliance
Do not skip doses — inconsistent dosing promotes antibiotic resistance
Report allergic signs — itching, hives, or facial swelling — immediately
Always follow your prescribing veterinarian's instructions. Dosages are tailored to your pet's weight, age, and health status.
Using Clavamox safely for your pet
Contraindicated in pets with penicillin or cephalosporin allergies
Use with caution in pets with liver disease
Not for use in rabbits, guinea pigs, or herbivores — causes fatal dysbiosis
Inform your vet of all current medications and supplements
Seek emergency care for difficulty breathing or severe facial swelling
