Just read on a packet of human antibiotics. Do not take dairy, calcium or iron supplements within 2 hours of taking antibiotics.
I've never heard of this before. Can anyone explain? Would it be the same for dogs?

Yes it would , for that particular anti biotic not antibiotics in general . Calcium and iron interfere with the action of the anti biotic making it lest effective . The 2 hours is to give the antibiotic time to be absorbed into the blood stream .
