Help! Dog stole packet of gone off raw chicken from bin and ate it all!

[MulledWineWasMothersMilk]

300g packet of chicken fillets a few days out of date. They smelt a bit sweet but not metallicy. Put them in the bin,halfway down. He's only a small-medium terrier so I have no idea how he got it but 5 mins later the pack is in the hall and empty!

Do I give him anything? Wait and see? Vet?

They probably weren't off at all. Sweet smell is natural. Unless they were slimy and really honked they would be fine. I d say the only issue is the general issue of raw chicken.

What a waste :(

he'll be fine. better than tinned dog food.

they eat their own crap.....i am sure he'll be fine!

only thing i'd worry about would be an over indulgence barf all over the rug!

lots of people advocate a raw food diet as being the best for dogs anyway so don't panic! Google raw food for dogs if you are still worried. Raw chicken wings are usally preferred. I would do it ifmy freezer was big enough

The dog digestive system is a lot less sensitive than the human. If he becomes ill, phone the vet. Am pretty sure he will be fine. He was recycling!!

Our dogs are on a raw diet and regularly have meat that's past it's sell by date with absolutely no ill effects at all.

Don't worry about it - raw food is actually much better for dogs than 'dog food' anyway (think MacDonalds vs home-cooked for humans).

Thank you so much everybody for putting my mind at rest. He hasn't been sick or anything, he;s fast asleep in his bed now.

Got to be better than my dog's penchant for a tub of 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter' (highly dangerous, no idea how she hasn't needed treatment, the sick is not pleasant though)

Seriously - why are dogs so revolting!!???

My mum's dog once stole 12 frozen chicken fillets, my nan had left defrosting. He'd taken them 1 by 1 into the garden and those he hadn't gnawed, he had half buried around the garden!

He was fine btw - reckon he ate 4 of them.

Oh and then there was the time he got hold of my purse, chewed the purse and I found it, freaked (had £100 cash in it) nearly fainted at loss of money. Mum was clearing his bed a few days later and found the money tucked under his blanket (saving for a rainy day?).
