I assume you mean that he ate adult dog food. That is perfectly fine, he may have some gastrointestinal signs like vomiting or having diarrhoea but otherwise he should not have any other side effect. I would recommend to feed him with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days.
