Give your vets a quick ring - whoever is on call will be able to tell you straight away whether or not it is an issue

500mg tabs are quite a high dose for a dog but he should be ok. may get loose stools for a day or so but they do use amoxicillin in dogs so I wouldn't worry too much. As has already been said...check with your vet but I'm sure it'll be fine.
