Your dog will probably be just fine. Believe me, they probably eat worse when you’re not looking :p
However, your dog should not have access to any place the tortoise is pooping, assuming the poop was in the tortoise’s enclosure. Dogs and tortoises definitely don’t mix.

I let my tort free roam for about 10 minutes and they dogs were put away. Guess he pooped in the corner and I didn’t notice until my dog was eating it! Thank you so much!

Could my dog get salmonella from my Tortoise’s feces?
It is physically possible, but very unlikely.

Free roaming is very dangerous. Many tortoises are lost this way. Make an enclosure.
