Are puppies harmed in Botox testing?

I read in one of those free supermarket ad/magazines for organic products that each batch of botox has to be tested on dogs or puppies. The article said that puppies were given a dose of Botox and if the puppy died they knew the toxin was too high and if the puppy was paralyzed by the botox the dosage was just right. Surely this cannot be true. right? I mean actresses that work with Peta would not use it right? I am afraid to google because I cannot bear to see some of the images that may pop up. Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks

According to the Humane Society (see link below) , they use mice, not dogs.

Botox is injected into humans, sometime for cosmetic reasons, but also for people with muscle spasticity problems, like cerebral palsy. The toxicity needs to be carefully controlled, or else children with cerebral palsy will be exposed to lethal injections. It would be nice to find a better way to do the testing – nobody wants to do animal testing – but they need to be sure the new method works to avoid human deaths. Botox works by paralyzing muscles. With too big of a dose, the muscles that control breathing are paralyzed.
