If the bread was already cooked (not dough) you should be ok. Your dog may vomit or feel bad for a. It since bread expands in the gut, but usually only raw dough is dangerous when ingested. *However, if your dog ate a large quantity of bread and is acting sick or painful, you should call your vet. If a dog eats too much of anything, but especially bread, it can cause them to bloat which is a life threatening condition.
