My 60lb dog took two Proin pills. Is a double dose dangerous?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | spayed | 1 year and 6 months old

We mistakenly gave our 60 lb dog two 50mg proin tablets instead of one this evening. Is this dangerous for her??

Hi and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Allie received roughly around a 3.7 mg/kg dose of Proin. According to the ASPCA, dogs that ingested this much can be normal or they can have a slow heart right and high blood pressure. If Allie shows any signs of agitation or restlessness, vomiting, diarrhea or lethargy, I would take her into the emergency veterinarian tonight. She may need fluids and activated charcoal.
