Cefdinir

Is the antibiotic Cefdinir safe for dogs?

- Joseph G.

The answer to your question, Joseph, largely depends on several factors—including the purpose for using the drug, whether or not the drug has been prescribed by a veterinarian at an appropriate dose, or if an accidental exposure has occurred.

If this medication has been prescribed by your vet, we recommend following up with him or her to discuss your safety concerns. If it’s a case of accidental exposure, your best course of action would be to contact your vet, a local emergency clinic or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center's hotline at (888) 426-4435. Otherwise, we do not advise giving this or any other medication to your dog without the direction of your veterinarian.
