Clavamox was launched in the US in 1984 by SmithKline Beecham (SKB) Animal Health. It became a PAH product in 1994 after SKB was sold to Pfizer.
There is no minimum age for the use of Clavamox on the product label. In Dr. Margaret Root-Kustritz’s reproductive/neonatology book (Clinical Canine and Feline Reproduction: Evidence-Based Answers), she provides a Clavamox dose of 12.5-25.0 mg/kg PO every 12 hours for kittens and 20-30 mg/kg PO every 8 hours for puppies.
Clavamox is stable in the presence of gastric acid and not significantly influenced by gastric or intestinal contents. The two components are rapidly absorbed resulting in amoxicillin and clavulanic acid concentrations in serum, urine, and tissues similar to those produced when each is administered alone. Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid diffuse readily into most body tissues and fluid with the exception of brain and spinal fluid.
Per Plumb’s Drug Formulary, the half-life in dogs is .39 hours with peak plasma levels occurring 1 hour after absorption. The drug is excreted unchanged in the urine. In dogs, 34-52% of a dose is excreted in the urine as unchanged drug and metabolites, 25-27% eliminated in the feces and 16-33% into the respired air.

I used this for my cat jack mix it with there food works great and if the meds are not refrigerated it will go bad to everyone I see it says it turned brown that means it's bad throw it away
My dog got kennel cough from the groomers. She was getting so sick. After speaking to my vet I called Chewy . They arranged the prescription and the delivery right away. My baby was better in just a few days .
My dog did not like the taste of this too much but its medicine! The syringe was absolutely terrible and did not work so I had to find another one to use. Not sure what the price difference would have been If I got this from my vet but I believe the price at chewy is always better!
It made her very sick in 3 doses and then turned brown so I stopped using it, using natural methods now
I was able to finish out the 7-day treatment but it caused her more stress than anything and the smell was horrible to her so I couldn't even disguise it in her food... Having to put it into her mouth with the syringe caused a lot of stress to her and exacerbated her breathing issues
Works! After 2 days eye infection improved, after 4 days....clear eyes!
My scrip arrived and when I called you I was given advice as to the correct measurement of water to solution(ie 15ml) grateful for Chewy Pharmacy.
Helped my cat with congestion. Much better now. Twice daily
Received it on a Thursday and after reading the side effects I decided to wait until Saturday to give it to my 9 lb Matipoo so that I would be home with her. Within an hour of administering she was throwing up all over the place....I felt so bad for her. Needless to say, I did not give it to her again. Luckily she had no other side effects. A high price for one dose that does not agree with her.
I have used this product before and it’s easy to measure the water to mix. You keep it in the fridge in between doses. My cats tolerate it because they are cats! It did take care of the infection before dental surgery. I might add very fast shipping from Chewy!!
