Got something for you off the net:

Is glucosamine toxic?
We know that NSAIDs can cause stomach ulcers and bleeding. A 1991 study published in the journal Drug Research showed glucosamine to be safe. When daily oral doses of up to 2700 mg/kg were given in the rat and 2100 mg/kg in the dog for one year and six months, respectively, no anatomical lesions were found in the gastrointestinal system or other organs. The dose given to the dogs would be equivalent to 150,000 mg in a 70 kg human. Most of the recommended dosages for patients with arthritis are about 500 mg three times a day. However, Italian researchers have found that the LD50 (the lethal dose at which half of the animals die) of glucosamine sulfate is 8000 mg/kg. In humans this would be equivalent to ingesting over 500,000 mg at one time or 1,000 pills each containing 500 mg.

I hope this is useful... I got the idea from the site that max safe dose is 1500mg, and your dog had twice that much.  You may want to see the vet anyway, even tho it says in the previous paragraph that a lethal dose is 8000mg.  Blessings - Blu

If you haven't done so by now, hope you have called your Vet, ER clinic or Poison Control.  You can look up ASPCA Poison Control
