I have three dogs, two of them I found chewing used sandpaper that the carpentry workers left on the floor. Could they get sick?

I would watch them for any signs of illness. The glue that adheres the sand to the paper could be a problem. If you see any signs that the dogs are ill get them to a vet pronto! Also, have a conversation with the careless carpentry workers and explain to them that they must discard of old sandpaper, etc. properly to avoid your dogs from becoming ill. (they should be doing this anyways as part of a job well done, regardless of whether you have dogs or not).

The sandpaper will have more of an effect on your dogs teeth than his stomach. Dont get me wrong, it's not good for them to swallow but the abrasiveness of the paper will quickly wear away the enamel on your dogs teeth. Dont let them chew it.

Try rubber gloves and bleach water (10% bleach, 90% water) to wash it down. Sanding down the rust and repainting with an enamal paint designed for metal can help, but what you're likely needing to get rid of is a urine smell. Vinegar isn't strong enough. You can try a mix of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide as a 'wash' on the bottom to see if that works if you don't want to do bleach. That stuff works on skunk odor, should work on doggie odor too.

yes it could tear up the stomach lining but that would take a lot of sandpaper

The best way to find out is to chew some yourself and see what happens.

If they swallowed some of it, it could be bad. It could cause some blockage in their insides while trying to get digested. If you notice anything different in their eating habits or bowel movements, you might want to get them checked up.
