In talking about dosage when referring to quality of the animal meds versus human meds, I was referring to the dosages that the drugs are sold in, not the dosage for the animal itself. Shit, animals come in various weights and species, so it should be a given that all dosages are NOT the same. They're not even the same for all people. But the actual concentration/dosage that the medication comes in are the same as for most human meds, they are just either cut down or diluted. A few companies produce extra smaller dosage pills/liquids for cats or small breeds, so cutting the dosage isn't necessary for these. In fact, most veterinary clinics even order human meds if their stock in an animal medication drops low and they are having problems re-ordering it, or they will send the pet owner out with a prescription to go to a human pharmacy (as opposed to a competing veterinary clinic).
Yes, the fillers are the same, goddamnit. The only exception to this is the "medications" like frontline, heartguard, etc. which are used to treat parasites in animals.
