A dog that has some minor, superficial wounds would most likely get penicillin as it's used to prevent infection. That, along with chlorhexidine scrub, will take care of such wounds. If the wounds are minor but a little worse than superficial, you can use amoxicillin along with the aforementioned scrub.

Most antibiotics cover the same infections. Some cover work better than others. Antirobe is good for deep, hard to reach abscesses along with bone infections. Clavamox is the stepping stone between amoxicillin and cephalexine.

Cephalexine will take care of most serious wounds though there are some exceptions. When you reach those exceptions, you use baytril.

The severity of the wound should always dictate what you use
