Penicillin is normally an IM (intra muscular) injection. A SQ/Sub Q (beneath the skin) injection would probably not do any appreciable harm but because of the thickness of the medication the drug would not reach therapeutic levels.

Where to inject penicillin for a dog?

You should give a penicillin shot in the fat under the skin, not IM or in the muscle. Due to possible complications resulting from shots in dogs, I would reccomend injecting it into the fat under the skin in the leg. Grab the skin/fur on the hip, pull it away from the body a little bit (don't hurt the dog) and inject it underneath the skin between the skin and muscle. Be sure all air has been expelled from the needle, and be ready to apply some pressure to the plunger on the needle. Penicillin is very thick and may require some force to inject thru the needle.
