Hello, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, this is a common antibiotic used in dogs for a variety of infections. I prescribe it routinely in my patients! I recommend giving it according to your vet's recommendations. The specific mg dose will be determined according to your dog's weight, and without that information I can't verify the specific dose - but I do not worry about this medication harming the kidneys. Hope this helps!
