The label you have posted is a little bit fuzzy so I don't know if I am reading it correctly. It looks like it says each tablet has 12mg of iron. If this is the case, assuming your beagle is about 25 pounds, there should probably not be any toxic consequences. Generally speaking, clinical signs do not begin to show until a consumption of approximately 20 mg/kg. In this case, Loki only consumed about 1 mg/kg. If I am not reading the label correctly, this may not be the correct advise. Hope this helps.
