Blue Ice packs have propylene glycol which in pure form is typically toxic, but the level of glycol present in Blue Ice pack is not toxic. Your dog should be fine even if he eats some of the blue liquid inside. Although the liquid is unlikely to cause problems, it's best to monitor If he vomits, appears weak, unbalanced or experiences any other unusual symptoms, go to your vet asap.

I have tried to research the ingredients and could not find anything on the toxicity. This does not mean that they are NOT toxic, just that I could not find any information. I suggest you call the Pet Poison Help center: 24/7 Animal Poison Control Center 855-764-7661 $59 USD per incident fee applies
