Should I give my dog his medicine before or after he eats? Its antibiotics for infected skin. I attached two pics of what medicine they gave us.

You want to make sure your pet eats first before giving antibiotics or it can cause an upset stomach, so it’s best tot give it after. You can try hiding it in a small amount of bread or sandwich meat or cheese. I hope this helps and thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Take care.
