Might I suggest that an alternate way of handling this could be:

\seeindex{dogs}{animals+dogs}

with

\index{animals+dogs}


It's the author's choice, but this avoids redundant page entries and a very long \placeindex.

(Note that we recently extended \seeindex to handle the {...+...}
syntax for both arguments.)
