Vitamin B12 Advice please - correct dose for dog?

I don't know if anyone out there can help me on this one please, but would anybody know what dosage it is safe to give a dog of the human tablet of Vitamin B12??? My vet didn't have the injection of this vitamin, but he said it would be safe to give her the human tablet form but in my dilema with 2 dogs and all that, I forgot to ask him how much to give! I know it is dangerous to O.D on B vitamins, so maybe I should just phone him tomorrow and ask I suppose. I just wondered if anybody out there uses these at all? Thanks if you can help.

I would phone your vet tomorrow, I give my dogs Brewers yeast tabs they have B6 in them not too sure if B12 is in there too? but they get two tabs a day each.

H, I'd definately wait and speak to your vet tomorrow. It may be measured in relation to the weight, so someone else's answer won't bear any relevance to Cass

I agree with Ash, Helena, it's not worth the risk - wait till you can speak to your vet.
