My German shepherd got the bread off the counter top. He ate 2 buns and 3 rolls. He’s playing with the puppy and is acting normal. Is bread ok for dogs to eat? Should I watch for any signs?

Bread is generally speaking ok, but can cause occasional diarrhoea. If that is the case, as a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding 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. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
