Overview
When harmful bacteria get into places they shouldn’t and start to multiply, it can lead to your dog getting a bacterial infection. Unlike viruses, which the body usually has to fight off on its own, bacterial infections can often be treated with medication, especially if caught early.
Bacterial infections in dogs can range from mild skin issues to more serious illnesses.
