Be thankful. My aging father in Florida is constantly taking his dog's heartworm pills.

PANTOTHENIC ACID

Pantothenic acid (PA), a B-complex vitamin, is essential for humans and animals for growth, reproduction, and normal physiological functions. It is a precursor of the coenzymes, CoA and acyl carrier protein of fatty acid synthase, which are involved in more than 100 different metabolic pathways including energy metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids, and the synthesis of lipids, neurotransmitters, steroid hormones, porphyrins and hemoglobin.

10,000mg was fatal, 1,000 mg did no harm to tested dogs. Read it in your link. I think the dog will be just fine.


Copied from the vitamin web site..........Q. What is the dosage for a teenager?
A. All of our One-A-Day multivitamins except WeightSmart and One-A-Day Active may be used by persons 12 years of age and older.

I would think if a 12 year old could take it, it wouldn't harm a full size dog.
