Never give a dog a medicine meant for a human unless a veterinarian prescribes it. The dosage for a dog would be much lower than that for a human, and a human dose could kill a dog. Also some medicines for humans cannot be used for a dog.

Allergy to Augmentin means allergy to all penicillin based medications?

Not necessarily. Firstly, Augmentin is a combination of two different medicines: amoxicillin, which is related to penicillin, and clavulanate, which is not. You could conceivably be allergic to either one. Secondly, even if you have a reaction to amoxicillin, it might not necessarily be related to the penicillin-like part of the molecule. Or it could be a different type of reaction to amoxicillin, which has nothing to do with allergy. Fortunately, penicillin is one of the few medications for which there is an allergy test. I'd suggest you talk to a board certified allergist to discuss the details.
