Controlling bacterial growth: Acne is often caused by the overgrowth of bacteria on the skin, particularly a type of bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes. Doxycycline works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby controlling the growth and spread of these bacteria.
Regulating oil production: Doxycycline can also help regulate sebum (oil) production in the skin, which is a contributing factor in the development of acne.

How do I apply Doxycycline to my dog's acne?Use Doxycycline as directed by your veterinarian, usually once daily with a clean and dry application of the antibiotic. A small amount of the antibiotic (Doxycycline) can be absorbed into the dog's food, allowing it to work effectively where it is needed the most.
If your dog's acne does not improve with treatment, try another antibiotic or medication. Doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that may be effective against many different bacteria.
Your veterinarian may have suggested your specific dosing schedule for your dog, and you may need to increase the dosage of the antibiotic that your dog is being given regularly.
Wash your hands often and gently before and during treatment to prevent spreading antibiotic infection to other animals.
After the dog is finished taking the medication, transfer your dog to the home treatment facility or pet clinic in which you will receive doxycycline as a prescription. Be sure to provide your veterinarian with your dog's full medical history and any prior treatment.
Doxycycline is intended for use by dogs only. Do not use Doxycycline for yourself or your pet if you are pregnant or nursing. Doxycycline should be used with the objective of managing your pet’s acne correctly.
