Mice are unable to digest the corn gluten. Dogs are able to digest it, so it should be safe unless they ingest a ridiculously large amount. Be sure to remove any other food sources that may be attracting mice. Seal all entrances if possible. If your dogs eat the mice, it should not cause a secondary toxicity like traditional rodenticides. They can still become infected with parasites though, so it is best to prevent your dogs from eating mice, dead or alive.
