no of course that's not going to hurt them, it is just meat and dogs can also digest the dried apple (lots of dogs love fruits and veggies). The only things that you must keep dogs away from are grapes, any kind of pit from a fruit (such as cherries or peaches) because it contains stricnine and also chocolate (in that case the stronger the chocolate, the worse. Milk chocolate isn't as bad as say, baking chocolate) The most problem you will have with your dogs eating this is perhaps a bit of an upset stomach due to the spices. That's all. Hope that eases your mind.

Unless your dog ate an awful lot of this, there should not be any problems. Chicken is the main ingredient in many commercial dog foods, and fruit can be good for dogs as a snack. A "pork casing" is the cleaned and sterilized intestinal lining of a pig, just in case you didn't know, and have been eating these yourself, lol! Dogs are essentially domesticated wolves, and wolves and other wild canids almost always eat the intestines of a prey animal first, so again, while it might seem gross to many humans, that is also a natural part of a dog's diet, and better yet, this one's been cooked. The salt and spices might make your dog a bit thirsty, but some spices, especially garlic, can be beneficial to dogs as well. If your dog is prone to pancreatitis, a dangerous inflammation of the pancreas that can be brought on by consuming lots of fats, you might want to keep a close eye on him/her, but otherwise, I would not be concerned. There are no ingredients there that would normally be considered harmful to dogs.

It's hard to say but you definately want to consult a Vetrinarian immediately about this and may want to find what what exact spices were ingested.
I doubt that your dogs will die but in sufficient quantity some of those ingredients could be harmful. If they are young (puppies) then it's a little more of a concern as body mass is a factor.

Probibly not. The only thing I would worry about is the pork casing. Keep an eye on them the next couple of days see if they eat less, vomit, diareah, less energy, or anything else that might indicate not feeling well or intestinal problem. They should be fine though.

No this will not cause your dog to die!! most (not all) of these ingredients can be found in some dog foods. at my store i sell holistic food and raw diets and alot of my food contains fruits, chicken etc. it may cause loose stools for a day or two but your doggies should be just fine.. of course i wouldnt let him have anymore though!! heh heh hope this helps you

Pork is not very good for dogs, but I would think they'll be fine.
If you are concerned phone your vet, tell them the size of your dogs, the ingredients and the amount they ate....better to be safe than sorry right?
My dog has eaten, and seems fine:
Bounce dryer sheets (he loves em!?!?! Even had to pull one out of him bum after it came out half way!!!)
SOS Pads
Dishcloths and tea towels, underwear, socks and basically any small peice of fabric or large peice of fabric he can shred
Books, even hard cover
Tupperwear
Shoelaces
Even caught him with a spoon halfway down his throat once!!
Not that I encourage him to eat this stuff...but if he gets his hands on it look out.
Hah...in fact, my house is pretty tidy and clutter free since I got him.

Pork can react badly to the digestive system of a dog so keep an eye on them.

Call the vet and ask.
In my opinion, no harm at all.
Rest assured .. none of the ingredients sounds poisonous to dogs.

I think the dogs will probably be ok - the meat portion is the largest ingredient - call the vet and ask what to do.

how old are you and how long have you owned dogs.... the only thing dogs will volentarily eat that could kill him/her are the following:
A Large amount of chocolate
Apple seeds
Rat poison
Antifreeze
large amounts of anything with caffeine
chicken bones...
No meat will kill your dog unless it's laced with poison I promise. but if my words not good enough take him to a vet.
