Its fine. Just be careful with high fat foods too often as it can cause pancreatitis which is a very serious issue... its caused by any high fat diet, or an isolated high fat instance. Lean burger meat, even raw, is a great treat or food topping. Just watch the fat content. If it was very fatty meat and the dog is small it could be something to watch for. Refusal of food for more than a day, depression, vomiting, sensitive belly... if you notice this go to the vet.
He may end up with diarreah because too much food easily causes that in dogs... depending on his size, you may or may not see that happen.
I wouldnt give him any other dinner though if that was enough, if not only give him a little.

Yeah your dog will be fine. Dogs in the wild like to bury bones and then go back and dig them up to eat the meat off them when the meat starts to rot. I don't think anything on that hamburger except the bleu cheese dressing could make him ill. The ketchup isn't good for him because of the sugar but the tomatoes and lettuce are fine. Dogs eat grass so veggies are not going to hurt him. The meat part was probably good for him. He'll be fine.
*As for eating plastic: My mom's Great Dane ate a whole ham with plastic wrap and string on it once. The dog suffered NO ill effects. The plastic and string were found in the backyard in a dog doo about 3 days later. :D

ya know, my dog licks herself so much that she gets hair clogged up in her belly (she's a husky). Then she can barely poop it out. I've actually had to get a napkin and pull it out for her because she gets so freaked out about it. (gross)
Dogs eat all sorts of stupid crap. I'd be more concerned about the plastic than the hamburger if I were you. He could get an intestinal blockage. I'd probably call the vet first thing in the morning. They will likely say just watch his eating habits and make sure you know if he vomits. That could indicate that he has a blockage. Otherwise, let the vet know and everything should come out fine (pun intended).
Good luck!

More than likely it will just upset his stomach, if its a smaller dog then it will be much worse. Expect gas and Diarhea tonight and tomorrow! When you feed your dog, give it a little less than normal as to not upet it anymore in the next 24 hours. And make sure to enforce drinking lots of fresh water! Good luck with your dog, I'm sure it will be fine as long as the hamburger was cooked!

He'll be fine. If anything, he may get diarrhea. If that happens, just make him some white rice (I use MInute Rice) and let him eat that (make sure its not too hot). You can put alittle cut up turkey or chicken for alittle flavor. Don't give him any dog food until he makes his next bowel movement. then take it from there.

Unless your dog is a teeny toy breed, he will be just fine.. You can expect loose stools tomorrow. Don't worry about a bit of plastic, unless he is less than 4 pounds.

You're dog will be fine, unless it is allergic or something which I doubt. Believe me dogs eat hamburgers all the time.
