Hi robin,

Although many vets prescribe this medication for its off-label use to dogs, there are a number of people reporting the dangers associated with doing so. I also read that it is not FDA approved for veterinary use.

Here's one article of many on the topic:

Have you looked into any natural alternatives?

Dear David, OMG!!! Thank you so much for your answer re: keflex & same antibiotic (differant name)! Just a couple hours ago gave to lil'bit, 80lbs mixed breed male........never again will i administer any drug w/out vet approval. The article you submitted was heartbreaking, but i hope w/ all my heart their dog made a full recovery! I'm keeping a very close eye on lil'bit, so far ok. Thank you so much for sharing.
